Figure 2From: RETRACTED ARTICLE: Effects of uric acid on endothelial dysfunction in early chronic kidney disease and its mechanismsPathological images of rat arteries from groups A, B, and C. (A) Endothelial cells arranged in order under the vascular intima of group A (Ć400). (B) There was no obvious proliferation of medial smooth muscle cells in the vascular wall of group A (Ć200). (C) The morphology of endothelial cells of group B was slightly abnormal (Ć400). (D) There was no obvious proliferation of medial smooth muscle cells in the vascular wall of group B (Ć200). (E) Endothelial cells of group C had a foam-like change (Ć400). (F) Endothelial cells of group C shed from the vessel wall (Ć400). (G, H) Inflammatory cells accumulated in the vascular intima of group C (Ć400). (I) Neutrophil granulocytes were seen around the endothelial cells of group C (Ć400). (J) Mononuclear cells were seen around the endothelial cells of group C (Ć400). (K) Smooth muscle cells of group C proliferated, thickened, and had no order (Ć200).Back to article page
