Fig 5. Sections of kidneys of control and lithium-treated rats probed for NOV/CCN3.

Fig 5

In control rats the protein is apparently absent from the cortex (A), and barely detectable in the outer medulla (B), in basolateral margins of collecting ducts, but absent from thick ascending limbs. In contrast NOV occurs basolaterally in epithelial cells of the distal tubules and cortical collecting ducts of lithium-treated rats, (C, arrows) and weakly in collecting ducts of the outer medulla (D). Scale bar, 50 microns.
