Assessment of hepatic fibrosis. (A–D) Representative Sirius Red staining showed progressive hepatic fibrosis in Ren2 livers at age 9 and 12 weeks (red, arrow). Ren2 liver sections (B and D, red) showed a marked increase of collagen accumulation compared with SD livers (A and C). (E) RT-PCR showed increased collagen type 1 (α1) mRNA expression in Ren2 livers compared with SD controls at 12 weeks of age. Magnification 100×. The results are means ± SEM for 4–5 rats for each group, *p < 0.05, Ren2 vs. SD controls.
