Renal Protective Effect of Beluga Lentil Pretreatment for Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Figure 3

Effects of beluga lentil pretreatment on renal endothelial cells after ischemia/reperfusion injury. Immunohistochemical analysis examining CD31 (a) and ICAM-1 to detect endothelial cell damage (b). Arrow indicates an existing microvessel and damaged endothelial cell. Normal: control group; untreated: saline-treated group; low: 2 mg beluga lentil pretreatment group; high: 8 mg beluga lentil pretreatment group. Beluga lentil was orally administered for 14 days, and then ischemia was performed for 20 min and reperfusion was performed for 30 min. CD31: cluster of differentiation 31; ICAM-1: intercellular adhesion molecule 1.
