Figure 4

Changes in the levels of (A) serum creatinine, (B) blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and (C) histopathology after an intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin (20 mg/kg). Saline or eleutheroside B was injected 30 min before the injection of cisplatin. Each column represents the mean ± SD (n = 4–7). Results of serum creatinine and BUN show that treatment of eleutheroside B (20, 40, 60 mg/kg) restored renal function in cisplatin nephropathy. C: periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining and score. Results of PAS staining and score of severity indicate that treatment with set concentrations of eleutheroside B (20, 40, 60 mg/kg) alleviated tubular necrosis, tubular dilation, and cast formation in cisplatin nephropathy. Data are mean ± SEM for 6–8 mice. *** p < 0.001 compared to normal; ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 compared to model. Cis, cisplatin; EB, eleutheroside B. KIM-1: kidney injury molecule-1.
