Polyethylene Glycol Preconditioning: An Effective Strategy to Prevent Liver Ischemia Reperfusion Injury

Figure 4

Effect of PEG 35 on liver apoptosis after ischemia reperfusion. PEG 35 at 10 mg/kg reduced the levels of apoptotic proteins caspases 3 and 9. Western blot and densitometric analysis of cleaved caspase 3/procaspase 3 (a) and cleaved caspase 9/procaspase 9 (b). Data represent mean ± SEM. versus IR 2 h; versus PEG 2 mg/kg.
