Ischemic preconditioning decreases C-X-C chemokine expression and neutrophil accumulation early after liver transplantation in rats

Figure 2 Changes of PMNs accumulation in grafted liver. PMNs accumulation was assessed by investigating the levels of MPO. The increase in non-IP groups was significantly re-duced in IP groups, especially at 4 and 6 h points after reperfusion (^aP < 0.05, non-IP group vs sham-operated group. ^bP < 0.05, IP group vs non-IP group).
