Figure 1From: Protection of early phase hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury by cholinergic agonists Dose-response curve of AChR agonist inhibited hepatic IR-induced changes in plasma ALT levels. Mice were pretreated with vehicle (i.e. normal saline), or DMPP 15 min prior to the onset of ischemia (90 min), followed by 3 h of reperfusion. Values are expressed as means ± SEM of n = 4 mice each group. *P < 0.05, Saline-treated group vs. DMPP-treated group.Back to article page
