Effects of LIPUS on the renal endogenous antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation in an AKI mouse model. The LIPUS treatment was performed before IRI procedure and after IRI until the day of euthanization. The antioxidant enzymes SOD1 and catalase protein levels (A) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (B) in the kidneys were shown. The protein level was determined by Western blot and quantified by densitometry, which was normalized by β-actin. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 8). *p < 0.05, versus Sham; #p < 0.05, versus IRI alone.
