Kidneys previously exposed to ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), pre-conditioned by I/R, are less susceptible to subsequent I/R injury. Here, we investigated the role for protein kinase B (Akt) survival signaling pathways including anti-apoptosis pathways in the reduced susceptibility of I/R-pre-conditioned kidneys.
