Fig. 6From: Therapeutic effect of Schistosoma japonicum cystatin on bacterial sepsis in micerSj-Cys reduced kidney injury caused by CLP-induced sepsis. a The serum levels of BUN and Cr were reduced in mice treated with rSj-Cys. b Representative kidney sections showing reduced renal tissue disrupture and inflammatory cell infiltration in rSj-Cys treated mice (×200; Scale-bars: 100 μm) (arrows indicate shrunk glomerulus) and the improved kidney injury score (c). The results are shown as the mean ± SEM for each group (n = 6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
