Figure 6. Cellular infiltration and proinflammatory cytokine mRNA levels in Protocol 2.

Figure 6

A, The number of mononuclear cells in the interstitial space of the kidney was quantified. Renal cortical tissues (B) monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and (C) plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) mRNA levels were determined by real time RT-PCR. β-actin was used as an internal control and results are expressed as fold changes to 10-week values of the DSS + NS group. # P<0.05 vs. 10-week values of DSS + HS group. a P<0.05 vs. DSS + NS, b P<0.05 vs. DSS + HS, c P<0.05 vs. DSS + HS → NS, d P<0.05 vs. DSS + HS → NS + OLM or DSS + HS → NS + AZEL.
