The Hepatoprotective Effect of Sodium Nitrite on Cold Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Figure 6

Nitrite reduced hepatocellular apoptosis during cold ischemia. Hepatocellular apoptosis was significantly reduced with 250 μM of anion nitrite after 24 hours (0.2±0.3 versus 2.9±2.2 versus 1.7±1.5) and 48 hours (0.2±0.3 versus4.3±3versus 1.8±1.4) of cold ischemia. Data are expressed as mean ± SE. ^#𝑃<0.05 for corresponding measurements.
