Effect of IKK inhibitor VII on renal dysfunctioning and hepatic injury mediated by sepsis in 5/6 nephrectomized mice.
| Parameter | 5/6 nephrectomized mice | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 5/6 nephrectomized mice (sham) (n = 6) | CLP+vehicle (n = 6) | CLP+IKK inhibitor VII (n = 6) | |
| Urea (mM/L) | 16.92 ± 0.75∗ | 33.45 ± 5.22 | 22.12 ± 1.25 |
| Creatinine (μM/L) | 45.55 ± 2.14 | 61.58 ± 4.77 | 51.88 ± 4.66 |
| ALT (U/L) | 41.55 ± 6.77∗ | 221.45 ± 24.55 | 514.11 ± 35.55 |
The 5/6 nephrectomized mice were subjected to sham surgery or CLP. After 1-hour CLP, the mice were treated with IKK inhibitor VII or vehicle. The plasma levels of creatinine, urea, and ALT were evaluated after 24 hours post-CLP. ∗P < 0.05 compared to 5/6 nephrectomized mice + CLP vehicle treated.
