Protective effect of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on hepatorenal syndrome in rats

Figure 3 Effect of omega-3 on the generation of free radicals and lipoperoxidation in the kidneys of cirrhotic rats. A: In vivo effect of omega-3 on flow cytometry detection of reactive oxygen species in renal homogenates. Mean data for dichlorofluorescein fluorescence; B: Effect of omega-3 on lipoperoxidation measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the kidney of rats. Values represent the mean ± SD of n = 6 animals per group. ^aP ≤ 0.001 vs control group; ^cP ≤ 0.001 vs BDL with BDL plus omega group. DCF: Dichlorofluorescein; TBARS: Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; BDL: Bile duct ligation.
