Fig. 1From: The pathogenic role of succinate-SUCNR1: a critical function that induces renal fibrosis via M2 macrophageSuccinate induced renal interstitial fibrosis in mice. Male C57 BL/6 mice were fed with special water (containing 4% succinate) for 12w. A Masson and Sirius red. B staining showed succinate induced renal interstitial fibrosis in mice.***P < 0.001 versus control group, n = 5. C Immunoblotting showed succinate increased renal protein levels of fibronectin and α-SMA. ***P < 0.001 versus control group, n = 5Back to article page
