Dexmedetomidine alleviates oxidative stress in AKI induced by LPS. (a) MDA assay in kidney tissues of mice. (b) SOD assay in kidney tissues of mice. (c) Real-time PCR of iNOS in kidney tissues of mice (∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗p < 0.0001 versus control; #p < 0.05 and ##p < 0.01 versus LPS. Data were presented as mean ± SEM, n = 6). MDA: malondialdehyde; SOD: superoxide dismutase; iNOS: inducible nitric oxide synthase.
