L-BAIBA ameliorates the apoptosis and inflammatory response in the lung subjected to I/R injury

(A): Results of TUNEL staining showed that L-BAIBA inhibited I/R-induced cell apoptosis. The experiment was repeated 5 times, and representative images are shown (n = 5). (B-D): Serum concentrations of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (B), IL-6 (C), and TNF-α (D) were measured by ELISA (n = 5). (E): MPO activity in lungs was measured by commercially available kits (n = 5). Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used for normality test. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis and Tamhane test (A, B, C, and E) or LSD (D) was used for post hoc analysis). The values are presented as mean ± SD (*P < 0.05 vs. Sham, #P < 0.05 vs. I/R only)
