Histopathological renal injury in rats at 72 h after burn.

<p>Representative images (magnification = 200×) showed the histological examination for tubular damage with different treatments postburn using periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) staining. The data indicated burn induced significant renal damage at 72 h, which was improved by inhibiting ROS production or p38 MAPK expression, and deteriorated by inhibiting Akt expression. **<i>P</i><0.01 vs. Sham; ^#<i>P</i><0.05, ^##<i>P</i><0.01 vs. Vehicle. n = 6 rats per group per time point.
