Figure Lengend Snippet: Impaired renal function and renal tissue fibrosis in UUO mice. (A − C) H&E staining and Masson staining in each group ( n = 6). Scale bar = 50 μm. (D and E) BUN and Scr levels in each group ( n = 6). (F − H) Protein expression levels of FN and CTGF in renal tissues ( n = 3). (I and J) mRNA expression levels of FN and CTGF in renal tissues ( n = 6). (K − M) Immunohistochemical staining and quantification for the expression levels of α-SMA and E-cad in renal tissues ( n = 3). Scale bar = 50 μm. ** p < 0.01 vs Sham, *** p < 0.001 vs Sham.
