From: Pregnancy protects the kidney from acute ischemic injury
Primary kidney tubular epithelial cell culture viability after ischemia/reoxygenation in situ. (A) Real-time proliferation and growth rate of cells obtained from pregnant and control animals: I, cell growth under normoxic conditions; II, OGD phase; III, phase of restoration of oxygen and glucose supply. Solid lines relate to cell index curves, dashed lines indicate growth rate (derivative of cell index curve). (B) Cell death during OGD. (C) Survival after OGD, and (D) growth rate measured by iCELLigence after OGD of cells from control (Cont), pregnant (Preg) and pseudopregnant (psPreg) rats (n = 8; 4; 3, respectively). *p < 0.05 compared to control group.
