Fig. 2From: Endothelial Colony Forming Cells (ECFCs) in murine AKI – implications for future cell-based therapiesPostischemic serum creatinine in all experimental groups (a: 35 min, b: 45 min). Renal ischemia significantly increased creatinine levels after 35 and 45 min of ischemia. Concentrations remained elevated throughout the whole postischemic period (until week 6). Systemic administration of native lEPCs improved excretory kidney function exclusively at week 1 (35 and 45 min of ischemia) (Data as mean ± SEM, ✻: p < 0.05)Back to article page
