Bariatric surgery inhibited oxidative stress injury through activating PPARα. The expression of PPARα was detected by immunofluorescence (IF; scale bar, 50 μm) (A) and Western blotting (B). (C) Mitochondrial ROS detected by DHR123 staining (scale bar, 50 μm). (D) Fibrosis of the kidney tissues observed with Masson staining (scale bar, 100 μm). (E) Quantification of the oxidation-related factors (SOD, MDA, and MPO) in rat serum by ELISA. (F) Renal apoptosis detected by TUNEL staining (scale bar, 50 μm). All data represented the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 [compared with the control (Con) group]; #p < 0.05 [compared with the diabetic nephropathy (DN) group]. ROS, reactive oxygen species; SOD, superoxide dismutase; MDA, malondialdehyde; MPO, myeloperoxidase.
