Figure 7
(a–c) Representative micrographs of Mallory’s trichrome-stained renal sections of the different studied groups (N = 10/group) showing marked fibrosis in the sedentary aged group (aged-S) compared with the control. It is evident that the renal fibrosis is decreased with exercise (40x, scale bar = 20 µm). N = number of rats. (d) A histogram denoting the mean % area of collagen deposition in the young, aged-S, and exercised aged (aged-Ex) groups. ∗∗indicates compared with the young group; ##indicates compared with the aged-S group. The data expressed as mean ± SD.
