Figure Lengend Snippet: NOB alleviates DDP-induced brain damage in uremic mice. (a) Body weight of mice. (b) Kidney coefficient of mice. (c-f) Serum levels of BUN, SCr, Kim-1, and Nagl in mice. (g) Representative images of hematoxylin & eosin staining morphological analysis of kidney tissue, showing renal injury features including cellular debris, tubular necrosis, and inflammatory cells ×100. Scale bar = 100 μm (h-k) WB analysis and quantification of Bcl-2, Bax, and PARP protein expression in mouse brain tissue. n = 3; ✶ ✶ ✶ P < 0.001, ✶ ✶ P < 0.01 versus Control, ### P < 0.001, ## P < 0.01, # P < 0.05 versus DDP. The bar represents mean ± S.D. NOB: Nobiletin, BUN: Blood urea nitrogen, SCr: Serum creatinine, Bcl2: B-cell lymphoma-2, Bax: Bcl-2-associated X protein, PARP: Poly ADP-ribose polymerase, DDP: Cisplatin, WB: Western blot, S.D.: Standard deviation.
