Figure 6From: Atorvastatin treatment attenuates renal injury in an experimental model of ischemia–reperfusion in rats Quantitative RT-PCR analyses of ICAM-1 mRNA and MCP-1 mRNA gene expression in kidneys. Ischemia–reperfusion caused severe increase in expression of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 mRNAs (one-way ANOVA test; *p < 0.001 compared with the sham group; n = 8). ATO reduced this upregulation (**p < 0.001, compared with the IR group; n = 8).Back to article page
