Vildagliptin Attenuates Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via the TLR4/NF-κB Signaling Pathway

Table 2

Effect of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (HIR) alone or in combination with intraperitoneal administration of vildagliptin (Vilda) (10 mg/kg for 10 days) on oxidative stress malondialdehyde (MDA) and catalase, nitrosative stress nitric oxide (NO), and inflammatory mediator tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels in the liver of experimental rats. All data were expressed as mean ± SD.
