Relative expression of α-SMA, COL-1 and vimentin in visceral peritoneum after four weeks treatment. Relative mRNA expression (%) of α-SMA, COL-1 and vimentin was measured by real-time PCR analysis and comparisons were made between the control, normal saline and hypertonic dialysate groups. The results are presented as mean ± SD from 3 independent experiments. The differences in expression of α-SMA, COL-1 and vimentin between the saline group and the hypertonic dialysate group were significant (all P <0.05).
