Decreased peritoneal expression of AGE and RAGE in rats treated with BF. The peritoneal expression of MG-AGE and CML was highest in animals treated with PD. BF substitution reduced the expression in uremic animals and uremic animals with PD treatment (A and B). Representative photographs of the uremic groups are given in panel B. RAGE was most expressed in the peritoneal membrane of uremic rats treated with PD. A supplementation of BF abrogated the upregulation of RAGE in the peritoneum during long-term PD (C). All results represent mean ± SEM of 12 animals per group; light microscopy of CML magnification = 400×. ***P < 0.001 versus Sham, *P < 0.05 versus Sham, §§P < 0.01 versus SNX, §P < 0.05 versus SNX, $$$P < 0.001 versus SNX intraperitoneal, $$P < 0.01 versus SNX intraperitoneal, $P < 0.05 versus SNX intraperitoneal, ##P < 0.01 versus SNX+PD, #P < 0.05 versus SNX+PD.
