Loss of protective factors in old kidneys is exacerbated in response to folic-acid (FA) administration. Folic Acid (FA; 125 mg/kg) was injected in 3-months-old (Young) and 1-year-old (Old) C57BL/6 mice and kidneys were studied after 48 h. Kidney Klotho (A) and Ppargc1a (B) gene expression levels were assessed by qRT-PCR. Data are shown as n-fold and expressed as mean ± SD of n = 6-9 animals per group. *p < 0.05 vs. control young mice, # p < 0.05 vs. FA-injected young mice, & p < 0.05 vs. control old mice. The parametric one-way ANOVA statistical test was performed.
