Composition of renal collagens and serum biochemical parameters reflecting renal function in rats. The composition of collagen in kidney tissue was analyzed using the colorimetric Sircol Assay. The collagen content in the kidney tissue was standardized to the total dry weight of renal tissue. The biochemical parameters were quantified enzymatically. Renal salt-soluble collagen (a), acid-soluble collagen (b), insoluble collagen (c), plasma albumin (d), BUN, (e) and plasma uric acid (f). All values are means ± SEM (n = 5, each group). *P < .05.
