Dietary nitrate reduced inflammatory responses after IR injury. (A) Representative micrographs of immunohistochemistry for CD68 (macrophage) and MPO (leukocyte) of the skin flap. (Original magnification × 200, scale bar = 100 µm). (B) Numbers of CD68-positive cells. (C) Numbers of MPO-positive cells. (D, E) Levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 in rats after flap IR injury. (F, G) Levels of flap issue TNF-α and IL-6 in rats after flap IR injury. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD, n = 6. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus Sham group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 versus IR group.
