Representative images of and renal injury biomarker changes in tubules after administration of anti-Fx1A, L-NAME or their combination. Compared with vehicle-treated animals, L-NAME administration with or without anti-Fx1A for 7 weeks caused tubule degeneration and regeneration (A), increased casts (B) and tubular dilatation (C). AI-enabled image analysis revealed trend of increase in the total abnormal tubular areas (D) and small increased areas with hyaline casts (E, p < 0.05) in the combination group animals compared with vehicle control group. Likewise, the OPN biomarker significantly (p < 0.05) increased on day 49 in the combination group animals compared with the vehicle group (F).
