Lipoic acid supplementation inhibits the activation of p53 caused by FA injection. Mice are treated as described in Figure 1. (A) The expression for p53, as determined by western blotting. (B) Semi-quantitative assessments of p53. (C) The expression of p53 gene, as determined by relative mRNA expression. (D) Representative images of IHC staining for p53 activation. Bar=50μm. Black arrow heads for p53 nuclear staining; black arrows for folic acid crystals in tubular lumen. 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, ##indicates p<0.01.
