Figure 7. MitoQ treatment decreases diabetes-induced renal interstitial fibrosis.
(A) Paraffin-embedded sections were prepared from paraformaldehyde-fixed tissues and stained with Masson's Trichrome for tissue collagen and imaged using Simple PCI software. (B) PASR-stained renal sections were imaged and quantified using Image-Pro plus. Average fibrotic area values were determined from one-half of the kidney cross-section (n=8–9 per group), means values were analysed by ANOVA and the Newman–Keuls test test and expressed (± S.E.M). #P≤0.05.
