Pretreatment fucoxanthin decreased BUN and Cr levels, attenuated pathological injury, and reduced KIM-1 expression in mice after renal I/R. The I/R model was established with 45 minutes of ischemia and 24 hours of reperfusion. The doses administered in the fucoxanthin treatment groups were 25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, and 100 mg/kg. (a) Schematic diagram of the experiment process. (b) Serum BUN levels. (c) Serum Cr levels. (d) and (f) Representative images of kidney HE staining (magnification ×400; scale bars = 20 μm) and its quantitative analysis. (e) and (g) Representative images of KIM-1 immunohistochemical staining (magnification ×400; scale bars = 20 μm) and its quantitative analysis. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 5. #p < 0.05 compared with Sham group, ∗p < 0.05 and ∗∗p < 0.01 compared with IR + DMSO group.
