In vivo assessment of renal oxygenation by MR BOLD 3 weeks following RAS surgery. (a) Representative R2* maps obtained by blood oxygen dependent (BOLD) MRI for WT and Ccl2 KO mice following surgery. The increase in hypoxia is indicated by change in color intensity from yellow to red. (b) R2* value of renal cortex in STK in WT and KO mice at baseline and following surgery. (‘B’ = baseline measurement prior to surgery, ‘RAS’ = renal oxygenation measurement at 3 weeks after surgery). *p < 0.05.
