Capsaicin Prevents Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury through Activation of Nrf2 in Mice
Figure 4
Capsaicin ameliorates mitochondrial dysfunction of tubular cells in CA-AKI. (a) Representative transmission electron microscopic images of mitochondria in the tubular cells from mice in the control, CA-AKI, CA-AKI+vehicle, and CA-AKI+CAP groups. Mitochondrial membrane potential (b) and mitochondrial ATP level (c) of mice in the control, CA-AKI, CA-AKI+vehicle, and CA-AKI+CAP groups. Data are . in each group. vs. Ctrl; ## vs. CA-AKI.
