Pretreatment with S-Nitrosoglutathione Attenuates Septic Acute Kidney Injury in Rats by Inhibiting Inflammation, Oxidation, and Apoptosis

Figure 4

Effect of SNG pretreatment on the apoptosis of kidney tubular epithelial cells. (a) The apoptosis of kidney tubular epithelial cells was detected by TUNEL staining (×400). (b) The apoptotic rate was calculated from different groups. (c) Apoptosis-related proteins caspase-3, Bax, and Bcl-2 mRNA were detected by RT-qPCR. SNG: s-nitrosoglutathione. Data are expressed as . vs. the control group; #, ##, and ### vs. the CLP group ( in each group).
