Gene expression profile of grafts in 6-week-old and 12-week-old recipients 24 h after receiving similar donor kidneys
To investigate the effect of youthful systemic milieu on acute kidney injury in a rat kidney transplantation model based on young (6-week-old) and adult (12-week-old) recipients receiving similar donor kidneys (12-week-old) Overall design: 12-week SD rat donor kidneys were heterotopically transplanted into 6-week Wistar rats (young recipients, Y group, shown in initial data as "IM") and 12-week Wistar rats (adult recipients, A group, shown in initial data as "M").
