Troxerutin Reduces Kidney Damage against BDE-47-Induced Apoptosis via Inhibiting NOX2 Activity and Increasing Nrf2 Activity

Figure 1

Troxerutin reduces ACR and kidney cell apoptosis in BDE-47 treated mice. (a) ACR (albumin-to-creatinine, mg/g, ) was tested at 12 weeks after BDE-47 was orally treated. (b) Kidney cell apoptosis was examined by the use of TUNEL assay (20x). White arrows (green fluorescence) represent positive signals. 4′,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) was used to stain the nuclei blue. Scale bar, 100 μm. (c) TUNEL-positive cells were quantitatively analyzed in the kidney tissue by the use of Turkey’s HSD post hoc test. Ctrl: control group; BDE-47: BDE-47-treated group; BDE-47 + Trox: BDE-47 and troxerutin cotreated group; Trox: troxerutin-treated group. Data were presented as mean ± SEM (). versus BDE-47-treated group. ### versus control group.
