Irisin mitigates liver injury in old rats after hepatic IR. Partial (70%) liver arterial/portal venous blood was interrupted for 40 minutes in 22-month-old rats. Irisin was administrated in old rats (iv. 250 μg/kg, single dose) at the beginning of reperfusion; Samples were harvested at 24 h after reperfusion. (a–c) Serum TNFα, IL6, and IL10 levels. (d–f) Serum MDA, SOD, and GSH-PX levels. (g–i) Serum lactate, LDH, and ALT levels. (j, k) TUNEL (green) staining of the liver and percentage of TUNEL-positive cells. (l) Liver water content. (m) Percentage of necrotic areas. (n) Liver histological scores. (o) H&E staining of the liver. n = 6; mean ± SEM; P < 0.05 and ∗∗P < 0.01.
