Dexmedetomidine Pretreatment Attenuates Kidney Injury and Oxidative Stress during Orthotopic Autologous Liver Transplantation in Rats

Figure 5

The proportion of Nrf2 positive cells and semiquantitative immunofluorescence of Nrf2 in glomerular cells or tubular epithelial cells in kidney tissues of different groups. The cells were counted under a laser scanning confocal microscope (magnification 400x). (a) The proportion of Nrf2 positive cells in tubular epithelial cells; (b) the proportion of Nrf2 positive cells in glomerular cells; (c) semiquantitative immunofluorescence of Nrf2 in tubular epithelial cells; (d) semiquantitative immunofluorescence of Nrf2 in glomerular cells. Relative immunofluorescence intensities were normalized to that of group S. The data were represented as mean ± standard deviation (SD), . versus group S; versus group M; versus group D2.
