Fenofibrate improved fibrosis of renal allografts. (a, b) HE, PAS, PASM, and Masson histochemical stains for transplanted kidneys of 2 groups of rats (black arrow, renal glomerular shrinkage and capillary loop occlusion; red arrow, tubulitis; orange arrow, renal tubular atrophy; green arrow, inflammatory cell infiltrations; purple arrow, calcification; and yellow arrow, collagen fiber deposition). (c) Quantitative analyses were conducted with Image-Pro Plus. IOD: integrated optical density. .
