CM administration-induced vasoconstriction was attenuated significantly following LIPC in the medulla (a) but not in the cortex (b). Representative photomicrographs of kidney sections of CI-AKI with hypoxyprobe staining (c). LIPC significantly decreased score of hypoxyprobe staining in 15 and 30 min followed by CM administration (d). Original magnification ×200. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ^#P < 0.01; n = 7 each. The values shown are the mean ± SD
