Data presented as mean ± SEM. No significant differences between all groups could be stated regarding creatinine, bilirubin, and cholinesterase values. A relevant elevation of hepatic damage enzymes could be observed after Baicalein and sole DMSO application compared to the respective control in both Sham and IRI groups.
