Fig. 2. Histopathologic evaluation of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) -operated mice over 21 days.
The scheme of experimental design (a). Trichrome and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) -stained renal sections in normal, sham (day-21), and UUO-operated mice at days-1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 postsurgery. Yellow, red, and black arrows stand for increased mesangial matrix, mesangial cell proliferation, and diffuse glomerulosclerosis, respectively (b). The percentages of glomeruli with increased mesangial matrix (p value = 1.1451e-04) as well as cortical fibrosis (p value = 1.3868e-04) for sham and UUO-operated mice. Data are mean ± SEM (c). * Scale bars: 50 µm.
