Fig. 8. Nuclear factor (NF) κB binding activity in kidney cortex nuclear fractions from sham-operated rats (Sham), sham-operated rats treated with 2.2% sevoflurane for 3 h (Sevo Only), rats subjected to 45 min of renal ischemia/3 h of reperfusion during pentobarbital anesthesia (PB IR), or rats subjected to 45 min of ischemia/3 h of reperfusion during 2.2% sevoflurane anesthesia (Sevo IR). NF-κB binding in contralateral kidneys from PB IR (PB Contralat) and Sevo IR (Sevo Contralat) groups are also shown. Samples from two representative rats are shown for each treatment except for shams (n = 3). Pos Control = HeLa cell nuclear extract as a positive control.
