Figure 1
Figure 1 Effects of diazoxide on serum activities. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (A) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (B) 4 and 24 h after hepatic reperfusion. Control group consisted of animals submitted to operative manipulation. Groups of animals submitted to liver ischemia/reperfusion were treated with normal saline (Saline group) or diazoxide (Diazoxide group) 15 min prior reperfusion. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of 10 animals per group. a,cP < 0.05 vs Control group. CONTR: Control group; SAL: Saline group; DIAZ: Diazoxide group.

Figure 2 Effects of diazoxide on liver mitochondrial oxidation and phosphorylation activities in liver ischemia/reperfusion. Control group consisted of animals submitted to operative manipulation. A: Respiratory control rate (RCR); B: State 3 respiration (S3); C: ADP/O ratio. Groups of animals submitted to liver ischemia/reperfusion were treated with normal saline (Saline group) or diazoxide (Diazoxide group) 15 min prior reperfusion. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of 6 animals per group. aP < 0.05 vs Control group. CONTR: Control group; SAL: Saline group; DIAZ: Diazoxide group.

Figure 3 Effects of diazoxide on serum levels of nitrite-nitrate in liver ischemia/reperfusion. Control group consisted of animals submitted to operative manipulation. Groups of animals submitted to liver ischemia/reperfusion were treated with normal saline (Saline group) or diazoxide (Diazoxide group) 15 min prior reperfusion. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of 10 animals per group. aP < 0.05 vs Control group. CONTR: Control group; SAL: Saline group; DIAZ: Diazoxide group.
Figure 4
Figure 4 Effects of diazoxide on systemic inflammation. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (A), interleukin-6 (IL-6) (B), IL-10 (C) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) (D) in liver ischemia/reperfusion. Control group consisted of animals submitted to operative manipulation. Groups of animals submitted to liver ischemia/reperfusion were treated with normal saline (Saline group) or diazoxide (Diazoxide group) 15 min prior reperfusion. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of 6 animals per group. aP < 0.05 vs Control group. CONTR: Control group; SAL: Saline group; DIAZ: Diazoxide group.
