RNase treatment attenuated hippocampal apoptosis after unilateral nephrectomy in aged mice.

Abstract

<p>A, TUNEL staining at day 1 after surgery. A-a, S-S group; A-b, S-P group; A-c, S-R group. B, Quantitation of TUNEL staining. C, Quantitation of relative intensity of cleaved caspase-3 bands and a representative blot at day 1 after surgery. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (panel B, n = 6 per group; panel C, n = 3 per group). *<i>P</i><0.05, **<i>P</i><0.01. S-S, sham surgery plus placebo; S-P, surgery plus placebo; S-R, surgery plus RNase.</p
