At the time of mice sacrifice, blood samples were collected and kept at room temperature undisturbed for 30 min to enable blood clotting. Subsequently, blood samples were centrifuged at 2,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C and sera (supernatants) were subsequently collected. BUN and SCr concentrations in murine sera were determined using a Hitachi 7060 automated Chemistry Analyzer (Diamond Diagnostics, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's protocols.
