Effects of SSR on renal function and interstitial fibrosis in 5/6th (A/I) rats. (a) The protein levels of Col-I, FN, and α-SMA were detected by western blot. (b) The ratio of Col-I, FN, and α-SMA to GAPDH protein was calculated (n=6). (c) Representative photomicrographs of Masson staining. Original magnification, ×200. (d) Semiquantitative analysis of collagen area (n=4). (e) The levels of Scr, Ccr, HB, and UA were measured at 4 weeks and 12 weeks after operation (n=15). Values are mean ± SE. P<0.05; P<0.01.
