Figure 1. Tanshinone IIA ameliorates folic acid-induced renal dysfunction in mice.

Figure 1

(a) Animal experimental design. Mice were randomized into 5 groups to receive vehicle, folic acid (FA) and/or Tanshinone IIA (TS) given on day 1 [FA+TS(E)] or day 5 [FA+TS(L)] after folic acid injury; (b) Time course changes of serum creatinine levels (mg/dl) measured on days 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 28; *P < 0.001, FA+TS(E) vs FA; #P < 0.001 FA+TS(E) vs FA+TS(L); $P < 0.001, FA+TS(L) vs FA; P = 0.017, FA+TS(E) vs FA; @P = 0.018, FA+TS(L) vs FA; (n = 9). (c) Kidney to body weight ratios were determined on day 28. P < 0.001 vs Control; P < 0.001 vs TS; P = 0.004 vs FA; P = 0.024 vs FA; n.s., not significant; (n = 9).
