Ferulic Acid, an Angelica sinensis-Derived Polyphenol, Slows the Progression of Membranous Nephropathy in a Mouse Model

Figure 2

Ferulic acid attenuated the severity of renal histopathological changes in MN mouse model. At the end of the experiment, kidney samples were collected for the histopathological examination. Representative sections from renal tissue in NC ((a), (e), and (i)), N-T ((b), (f), and (j)), Pre-T ((c), (g), and (k)), and Post-T ((d), (h), and (l)) groups were performed with H&E staining ((a) through (d)), IgG immunofluorescence staining ((e) through (h)), and colloidal iron staining ((i) through (l)), original magnifications: 400x.
