Effect of empagliflozin administration on glomerular, tubulo-interstitial and perivascular fibrosis in CsA-treated rats.On the left. Representative photomicrographs of glomerular, tubulo-interstitial and perivascular fibrosis in control, control + Empa, CsA, and CsA + empagliflozin-treated rats (original magnification X20). Sirius red, collagen-specific staining, shows an increase in glomerular and tubulo-interstitial fibrosis in CsA-treated rats, as compared to control and control + Empa-treated rats. Empagliflozin administration prevented the increase in glomerular and tubulo-interstitial fibrosis in CsA-treated rats. Perivascular fibrosis did not change among the different experimental groups.On the right. Quantification of glomerular, tubulo-interstitial and perivascular fibrosis in the different groups of rats. Data are means ± SEM. *: p < 0.05. §: p < 0.01
