Protective Effects of Evodiamine against LPS-Induced Acute Kidney Injury through Regulation of ROS-NF-κB-Mediated Inflammation
Figure 2
Effects of EVO on functional injury of kidney in rats and cell viability in NRK-52E cells treated by LPS. Rats were intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected with EVO (10 and 20 mg/kg) 1 h after LPS treatment. Kidney function was evaluated by the determination of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (a) and creatinine (b) levels. NRK-52E cells were treated with 1 μg/ml LPS in the presence or absence of 10 and 20 μM EVO for 24h. Cell viability was detected by MTT assay (c). #p<0.05 vs control group. ##p<0.05 vs LPS group.
