The Inhibitory Effects of Naringin in a Rat Model of Postoperative Intraperitoneal Adhesion Formation

Figure 3

NG reduces collagen deposition during adhesion tissue formation in rats (n = 8).  < 0.05 and  < 0.01 compared with the control group. (a) The thickness of collagen deposition was measured by Sirius red picric acid staining (100×; insets, 200×). The locations marked with brackets in the image are the adhesion areas. (b) α-SMA expression in each group was measured by immunohistochemistry staining (100×; insets, 200×). The locations marked with brackets in the image are the adhesion areas. (c) Analysis of the adhesion thicknesses of each group by Sirius red picric acid staining. (d) The α-SMA expression scores in all groups.
