Kv1.3 and cell cycle marker expression in sham operated (sham) and advanced CRF rat kidneys. (A) Kv1.3 expression. (a) KCNA3 mRNA abundance in the renal cortex of sham operated (sham) and advanced CRF (CRF) rat kidneys. (b) and (c) Immunohistochemistry using antibody for Kv1.3 (brown) in sham operated and advanced CRF rat kidneys. High-power views of cortical interstitium. Magnification, ×60. (B) Cell cycle marker expression. The mRNA abundance of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4) (left) and p21 (right) in the renal cortex of sham operated and advanced CRF rat kidneys. # versus sham operated rats. Values are means ± SEM (). Differences were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s or Student’s -test.
