Bone Marrow-Derived Mononuclear Cell Therapy Accelerates Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Recovery by Modulating Inflammatory, Antioxidant and Apoptotic Related Molecules.

Background/aims: We investigated the regenerative capacity of intravenous administration of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMMCs) in a rat model of bilateral renal ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury and the involvement of inflammatory anti-inflammatory and other biological markers in this process.

Methods: Rats were subjected to 1h bilateral renal pedicle clamping. BMMCs were injected i.
