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

Figure 4

Effects of beluga lentil pretreatment on oxidative stress after ischemia/reperfusion injury. Quantification of MDA (a) and antioxidant enzyme (b) concentrations, using ELISA. Normal: control group; untreated: saline-treated group; low: 2 mg beluga lentil pretreatment group; high: 8 mg beluga lentil pretreatment group. Beluga lentil orally administered for 14 days, and then ischemia was performed 20 min and reperfusion was performed for 30 min. MDA: malondialdehyde; SOD: superoxide dismutase; CAT; catalase; GSH: glutathione; GPx: glutathione peroxidase.
