Irisin suppresses I/R-related cell apoptosis in mice. (a, b) Representative images from a TUNEL assay in kidney tissues, and the ratio of TUNEL-stained positive cells in the mouse kidneys from four groups is shown. Magnification, 200x. . (c, d) Representative images of Western blotting and quantitative analysis of cleaved caspase 3 levels normalized to β-actin ( experiments). Data are presented as . ; ; .
