Blood samples were centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 8 min and plasma transferred to 1.5 mL plastic Eppendorf tubes, stored at −20°C until analysis. Plasma creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured using the Creatinine FS kit and Urea FS kit from DiaSys Diagnostic Systems, Germany. Plasma glucose was measured using Glucose GOD FS kit (DiaSys) according to the protocol provided by the manufacturer.
