a Flow cytometry showed that overexpression of sirt3 blocked CaOx-induced apoptosis and necrosis of TEC. b Overexpression of sirt3 significantly reduced ROS levels under CaOx stimulation. c Sirt3 protein expression was rescued in the sirt3-overexpressing group under CaOx stimulation. The cleaved caspase-3 and Bax levels were significantly decreased, and the Bcl-2 level was increased in the sirt3-overexpressing group compared to the non-transfected control group. d The von Kossa staining results revealed that resveratrol reduced calcium deposits in the medulla of the murine nephrolithiasis model. Scale bar: 100 μm (left); 50 μm (right). e Sirt3 expression in both the renal cortex and medulla was increased by resveratrol treatment. Data are shown as the means ± S.D.; n = 6 mice per group. Scale bar: 100 μm (left); 50 μm (right)
