Allopurinol Protects against Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Injury in Rat Urinary Bladders

Figure 2

(a) Results of xanthine oxidase (XO) in plasma and bladder tissue. Values are expressed as mU/mg protein. In each of the experiments, XO activity obtained with Sham + S group was normalized as 1.0. (b) Protein levels of XO in bladder tissue. Expression level of xanthine oxidase was normalized to GAPDH. Bars indicated mean ± SEM of 15 rats. indicates that I/R + S group is significantly different from sham-operated groups (). † indicates that I/R + Allo group is significantly different from I/R + S group ().
