Figure 3From: Lanthanum carbonate prevents accelerated medial calcification in uremic rats: role of osteoclast-like activityAorta for evidence of VSMC phenotype change by performing immunochemistry. Expression of CathepsinK (A-C), OPG (D-F), RANKL (G-I), TRAP (J-L), Runx2 (M-O), and Osteocalcin (P-R) were detected in the aortic tunica media of normal, CRF and 2%La treatment rats. Arrows indicate positively stained action. All sections were of the thoracic aorta region.Back to article page
