Indoxyl sulfate caused behavioral abnormality and neurodegeneration in mice with unilateral nephrectomy
Figure 5. Indoxyl sulfate decreased parameters of neuronal cell survival and neural stem cells. Unilateral nephrectomized mice were intraperitoneally injected with indoxyl sulfate (IS, 0 and 100 mg/kg) and the indoxyl sulfate-injected mice were orally given with AST-120 (0 and 400 mg/kg) for 7 weeks. Proteins were extracted from the isolated prefrontal cortical tissues and subjected to Western blot with the indicated antibodies. Representative blots and the quantitative data are shown. *p < 0.05 vs. control group, and #p < 0.05 vs. indoxyl sulfate alone (IS) group, n = 8.
