Characterization of UN-induced ARF. (A) Influence of UN on renal function. Blood levels of urea and creatinine and urinary levels of glucose and γGT are plotted. The bars represent the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 vs control. (B) Light micrographs of renal tissue from UN(-) (left panel) and UN(+) (right panel) group given 5 mg/kg UN intraperitoneally. Proximal tubules (PT), sectioned transversely, are lined by high cuboidal or pyramidal epithelium. A slight loss in the brush border (BB), and large vacuoles (arrow) in proximal tubular cells in comparison with control group are depicted (×40).
