Heat shock protein 72 ( HSP72 ) analysis ( HSP72 expression in the kidney samples ). Representative Western-blot bands are shown in the upper part of the figure. Analysis of kidney HSP72 expression normalized to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) levels demonstrated no significant elevation in the IR (ischemia-reperfusion, n = 8) and PostC (postconditioned, n = 8) group compared to the sham-operated group (n = 5) after 4 h of reperfusion.
