Cinnabar-Induced Subchronic Renal Injury Is Associated with Increased Apoptosis in Rats

Figure 6

Change in expression of cytokines associated with apoptosis in rat kidney. Rats were dosed with cinnabar (1 g/kg/day) for 12 weeks. Expression of cytokines associated with apoptosis in the kidney was analyzed by antibody array (RayBio, AAR-BLM-1). (a) Representative image from the control group. (b) Representative image from the cinnabar group. (c) Bar graph showing cytokines expression in both groups. (A) Activin A, (B) adiponectin, (C) Fas ligand (FasL), (D) Fas, (E) TNF-α, and (F) TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). , , , compared with the control group. ().
