Protective Effects of Bu-Shen-Huo-Xue Formula against 5/6 Nephrectomy-Induced Chronic Renal Failure in Rats
Figure 3
BSHX downregulates the mRNA expression of TGF-β 1 and CTGF in the renal tissue of 5/6 nephrectomy rats. Following eight weeks of treatment with BSHX at the doses of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 g/kg·d, the mRNA expression of TGF-β 1 (a) and CTGF (b) in the renal tissue was analyzed by FQ-RT-PCR. ΔΔ compared with the sham group. compared with the control group. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. .
