Rosiglitazone Suppresses Renal Crystal Deposition by Ameliorating Tubular Injury Resulted from Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response via Promoting the Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway and Shifting Macrophage Polarization

Figure 5

ROSI decreased renal macrophage recruitment and M1Mp polarization and promoted renal M2Mp polarization in the mouse model.
