Figure 6. Histological analysis of acute kidney injury.
Representative images of PAS-stained WT (A–C) and KO (D–F) kidneys 48 hours after IRI. Panels A and D show low-power views (scale bars: 100 μm); panels B and E show high-power views of the cortex; and panels C and F show high-power views of the outer medulla. Scale bars: 50 μm. (G) Histological scoring of acute injury, expressed as the percentage of kidney area involved. *P < 0.01 and **P < 0.001, by Student’s t test (n = 6–8 per group).
