Gadolinium chloride decreases circulating monocytes and neutrophils following ischemia and reperfusion. Rats were treated with either saline or GdCl₃ (20 μmol/kg) 15 minutes prior to a Sham procedure or a 30 minute period of regional ischemia and 2 hours reperfusion. A) Increase in monocytes. B) Increase in neutrophils. Data mean ± SD, n = 3-6/gp, + = p < 0.05, Sham control vs. Ischemia-Reperfusion (IR) control,* = p < 0.05, IR Control vs. IR GdCl₃, ± = p < 0.05, Sham Control vs. Sham GdCl₃, § = p < 0.05, IR GdCl₃l vs. Sham GdCl₃
