Figure 2. — Effects of Zn on the peritoneal thickness in a rat model of peritoneal fibrosis. (A) H&E staining of the peritoneum and (B) peritoneal thickness in rats from each group (magnification, ×10). (C) Masson's trichrome staining of the peritoneum and (D) peritoneal thickness in rats from each group (magnification, ×20). Peritoneal thickness was defined as the thickness of the submesothelial zone measured from the inner surface of the abdominal muscle to the mesothelium. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. P-values were determined using ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test. *P<0.05 vs. NC; #P<0.05 vs. HG. NC, negative control; HG, high glucose; CQ, chloroquine; Zn, ZnSO4.
