Podocyte Injury and Albuminuria in Experimental Hyperuricemic Model Rats
Figure 7
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimic tempol ameliorated hypertension but did not reduce albuminuria in hyperuricemic rats. (a–c) Systolic blood pressure (a), thickening of afferent arterioles as assessed by α-smooth muscle actin staining (b), and urinary albumin (c) in HUA rats with and without coadministration of tempol. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; for HUA and 8 for HUA + TEMP (a and c); for (b). ; NS: not significant.
