Figures & data
Notes: (A) The kidney of rats after different treatment. (B) Changes in body weight in rats. (C) HE staining was used to observe the morphology of renal tissue in rats. (D) Masson staining was applied to detect the expression of collagen in the renal tissue of rats. (E) The concentrations of BUN, Scr, and UPr in rats were determined by ELISA, and Ccr was calculated. (F) The concentration of inflammatory cytokines in the serum of rats was tested by ELISA. The magnification is 400 times, scale bar = 25 μm; *P<0.05 compared with the Sham group. #P<0.05 compared with the Model group. &P<0.05 compared with the PD group.

Notes: (A) The relative expression levels of P65 and P38 were detected by qRT-PCR. (B) The P65, P38, p-P65, and p-P38 expressions were measured by WB. (C) IHC examined the expression levels of P65 and P38. The magnification is 400 times, scale bar = 25 μm; *P<0.05 compared with the Sham group. #P<0.05 compared with the Model group. &P<0.05 compared with the PD group.
