Excretory Function of Intestinal Tract Enhanced in Kidney Impaired Rats Caused by Adenine

Figure 2

Gross morphology of rat kidney in normal group (A) and kidney impaired group (B). Rats in kidney impaired group were intragastrically treated with adenine (400 mg/kg × 5 days), while those in normal group were treated with normal saline of the same volume. The kidney (A) in normal group was normal, with a smooth surface (weighing  g); and the kidney (B) in kidney impaired group was swollen with numerous white dots (weighing  g).
