Figure Lengend Snippet: Cortical mRNA expression levels of IL-6, ICAM-1 and Nephrin in mice with LPS-induced glomerulonephritis are affected by treatment with unstimulated HS glx , LPS HS glx , fucoidan or sulodexide. (A) . MCP-1, (B) . IL-6, (C) . IL-10, (D) . ICAM-1, (E) . VCAM-1, (F) . Nephrin, and (G) . HPSE1 cortical mRNA expression of mice injected with LPS (48 h) and treated with unstimulated HS glx , LPS HS glx , fucoidan or sulodexide.
