Expression of fibrotic cytokines in the kidney. (a) mRNA expression of fibronectin, (b) TGF-β, (c) collagen I, and (d) collagen IV was detected by real-time PCR and normalized to expression of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Values are mean ± SEM (). , Sham+V group versus Aldo+V group, , Aldo+V group versus Aldo+TUDCA group.
