Bilobalide reduced NADPH oxidase activity and F2-isoprostane and MDA levels and enhanced SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px activity in skeletal muscle following I/R. The activity of NADPH oxidase (a) and the levels of F2-isoprostanes (b) and MDA (c) were increased in muscle tissue after I/R injury, while the activity of SOD (d), CAT (e), and GSH-Px (f) was decreased. Bilobalide treatment reversed the injury-induced changes. *P < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared with the sham group; #p < 0.05 compared with the I/R group; ns = not significant compared with the I/R + bilobalide-low group. n = 8 per group
