Losartan activates sirtuin 1 in rat reduced-size orthotopic liver transplantation

Figure 5 Liver apoptosis in reduced-size orthotopic liver transplantation after losartan treatment. Protein levels of Caspase 12 (A) and Cleaved Caspase 3 (B). ^aP < 0.05 vs Sham, ^bP < 0.05 vs ROLT. Sham: Liver harvested without transplantation; ROLT: Liver subjected to reduced-size orthotopic liver transplantation after 1h of cold storage in University of Wisconsin solution; losartan + ROLT: Same as ROLT group, but with further administration of losartan 24 h and 1 h before the surgical procedure to both the donor and the recipient.
