From: Malnutrition, a new inducer for arterial calcification in hemodialysis patients?
(A-G) The immunostaining results of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) and matrix Gla protein (MGP). Both slight calcified (SLC) group and severe calcified (SEC) group had significant higher expressions of BMP2 and MGP in radial arteries of hemodialysis patients than non-calcified (NC) group (Figure 3A-G). And comparing with SLC group, the SEC group also showed significantly increased expressions of BMP2 and MGP (Figure 3B-C, E-G).
