Protective effects of apocynin and allopurinol on ischemia/reperfusion-induced liver injury in mice

Figure 3 The hepatic I/R-induced superoxide anion production and the effects of apocynin or allopurinol in mouse liver. The superoxide anion production was determined in mouse liver homogenates with a superoxide anion tracer, MCLA, and the MCLA chemiluminescent emission was recorded in a luminometer and expressed as relative light unit per second per micrograms of protein (mean ± SEM). ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs the sham controls, ^dP < 0.01 vs the I/R procedure plus N.S. at 6 h time point.
