Vitamin D Regulates the Expressions of AQP-1 and AQP-4 in Mice Kidneys

Figure 3

The synergistic effects of Vitamin D and inhibiting renin activity on downregulation of AQP-1 expression. (a)The coexpressions of renin and AQP-1 in renal papilla were detected by immunofluorescence staining. (b) Renin expressions in kidney were detected by immunofluorescence staining. (c, d) AQP-1 expressions in renal papilla were detected by immunohistochemical staining. All photographs were shown with a 400-fold magnification. Positive expression was indicated by arrows.
