Scatterplot graphs were used to represent the correlations between: (A) Albuminuria (UalbV,) and theTlr4 gene expression, (B) Tail-Cuff Pressure (TCP) and the number of TLR4+ interstitial cells, Percentage of cortical interstitial area and both (C) the number of TLR4+ interstitial cells and (D) the percentage of TLR4+ tubules, and finally, (E) the Gomerulosclerosis Index (GS) and interstitial T-Lymphocyte infiltration, in 25 Nx rats. Significant correlations were established according to the Pearson’s coefficient, when p < 0.05.
