From: High-pressure carbon monoxide preserves rat kidney grafts from apoptosis and inflammation
Carbon monoxide decreases tubular apoptosis. Many TUNEL-positive cells were detected in the outer medulla following prolonged cold ischemia for 24 h and were suppressed by CO treatment at the end of cold storage (a), 3 (c) and 24 h after kidney transplantation (e). TUNEL-positive cells (b, d, f) were counted in tubular cells of the outer medulla at × 200 magnification in a minimum of 10 fields (n=3/group). Data are expressed as means±s.d. Tukey’s test, **P<0.01, *P<0.05.
