Fig 3. CRP induces more fibrosis Day 7 post-IRI.

(A) Representative Trichrome stain of kidney sections at Day 7 after IRI. Interstitial fibrosis was scored following published protocol. (C) SMA protein levels in the kidney lysates of PLC3 mice and LC3 mice prior and post-IRI by western blotting. Data are expressed as means ± SD of at least 4 mice from each group and statistical significance was assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Newman-Keuls test. *: P<0.05, **: P<0.01 between two groups.
