Figure 1

(A) Representative Masson’s trichrome staining of kidney sections and H&E stained femur sections from control, TSA, adenine and TSA-treated adenine mice (n = 6 in each group, 6 weeks). (B) Semi-quantifications of renal interstitial fibrosis (the percentage of blue-colored cortex area over the whole cortex field from Masson’s trichrome-stained sections) from all mice. (C) Average levels of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine (Cre). The quantifications were based on all mice tested. (D) Representative femur radiographs from Control, TSA, adenine and TSA-treated adenine mice. The lower panels are the enlarged views of framed images above (E) Quantifications of bone density of Fig. 1D from all mice. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus control; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 versus adenine mice.
