Alterations in serum creatinine (A) concentrations and BUN (blood urea nitrogen, B) in different groups. The data are presented as mean ± SEM. There was no significant difference in BUN among the groups. Creatinine in IR group was significantly higher than the control group. No significant differences were obsereved between the IPC-IR and the IR groups. *P < 0.05 compared with IR. Ischemia-reperfusion, IR; Ischemic preconditioning, IPC; Ischemic preconditioning followed by Ischemia-reperfusion, IPC-IR.
