Nephroprotective Effect of Embryonic Stem Cells Reducing Lipid Peroxidation in Kidney Injury Induced by Cisplatin

Figure 5

Fourier-transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIRM) analysis. (a) FTIRM spectra of kidney tissues of healthy mice and mice subjected to acute kidney injury (AKI) treated with isotonic salt solution (ISS) or mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) at days 4 and 8 post-AKI. Different representative bands associated to biomolecules are evidenced such as lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Each spectrum was collected in the mid-infrared range (4000-400 cm^-1), depicting the average of glomeruli and tubular system from the renal cortex and medulla of each group (, measured in triplicate). (b) Spectral band assignments.
