doi: 10.1590/1414-431X2024e14249
Figure Lengend Snippet: Poricoic acid A (PAA) inhibited endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) activation in the kidney of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice. A and B , Protein expression and quantitative analysis of Chop, GRP78, p-PERK, p-eif-2α, and ATF4. C , mRNA expression of Chop, GRP78, and ATF4. D , Immunohistochemical staining of Chop and GRP78 and relative quantitative analysis. Scale bar 25 μm. Data are reported as means±SD. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, and ns: not statistically significant. One-way ANOVA followed by a two-tailed Student's t -test. LOS: losartan.
