The representative photomicrographs and quantitative analysis of oxidative stress and inflammation in the DCD heart. The expression of (a) HNE, (b) IL-6, (c) TNF-α, and (d) NF-κB p65 in the DCD heart. Data represent the of the mean. for each group. HNE: 4-hydroxynonenal; IL-6: interleukin-6; IOD: integrated optical density; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-α; NF-κB: nuclear factor kappa-B. vs. DCD-Control, # vs. non-DCD.
