Effects of Yishen Pinggan Recipe on Renal Protection and NF-κB Signaling Pathway in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Figure 2

Influence of YPR on renal histologic manifestations. (a) HE staining under light microscopy (×200): (A) WKY group, (B) SHR group, (C) Bena group, and (D) YPR group. In the SHR group, glomeruli showed hyperemia, focal tubular epithelial cells were swollen with inflammatory cells infiltration, and partial arterioles showed wall thickening. No abnormality was found in the WKY group, Bena group, and YPR group. (b) HE staining under electron microscopy (×8200): (A) WKY group, (B) SHR group, (C) Bena group, and (D) YPR group. In the SHR group, there was basal membrane thickening, and focal foot processes were fused and disarranged. In the WHY, Bena, and YPR groups, no abnormalities were found.
