Figure 2.

The effect of LA supplementation on acute tubular damage caused by FA injection. Mice are treated as described in Figure 1. (A) Representative images of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for KIM-1. Bar=50μm. (B) Renal tubular damage marker, KIM-1 expression, as determined by western blotting. (C) Semi-quantitative assessments of KIM-1. (D) The expression of KIM-1 gene, as determined by relative mRNA expression. For the FA group vs. the control group, *indicates p<0.05, and **indicates p<0.01. For the LA-treated groups vs. the FA group, ^#indicates p<0.05, and ^##indicates p<0.01.
