Figure 3

Ursolic acid activates the Nrf2 signaling pathway after unilateral ureteral obstruction in rats. (a) represents Western blots of related protein expression in rat kidney tissues of different groups; (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) represent the expression of Keap1, Nrf2, HO-1, TGF-β1, and 8-oxo-dG mRNA in the kidney tissues of rats in different groups, respectively; (g), (h), (i), (j), and (k) represent the expression of Keap1, Nrf2, HO-1, TGF-β1, and 8-oxo-dG protein content, respectively, in the kidney tissue of rats in different groups; means ; means ; means ; means .
