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

Figure 10

Nitrite reduced hepatocellular apoptosis in the donor liver graft and in the recipient after liver transplantation. Hepatocellular apoptosis was significantly reduced by anion nitrite in the donor liver graft and recipient only groups compared to control and combined treatment groups 3 hours posttransplantation (9.8±4.1 versus 3.9±2.4 versus 4.1±2.6 versus 7±3.9). Data are expressed as mean ± SE. ^#𝑃<0.05 for corresponding measurements.
