ShenShuai II Recipe Attenuates Apoptosis and Renal Fibrosis in Chronic Kidney Disease by Increasing Renal Blood Flow and Improving Oxygen Consumption

Figure 2

Effects of SSR on renal blood flow and oxygen consumption in the remnant kidney. (a) Renal blood flow was measured after treatment (n=15). (b) Total intrarenal oxygen consumption factored by QO2/TNa was tested after treatment (n=15). (c) The protein expression of HIF-1α and nNOS was determined by western blot. (d) The ratio of HIF-1α and nNOS to GAPDH protein was calculated (n=6). Values are mean ± SE. P<0.05; P<0.01.
