From: Rictor/mTORC2 signaling pathway mediates Benzo[a]pyrene-induced renal injury
Temporal progression of B[a]P-induced renal injury. (A) Body weight changes. (B) Kidney morphology and organ coefficient. (C) SCr, BUN, and urinary urea nitrogen. (D) Representative H&E-stained kidney sections (×100 magnification). Key morphological alterations are indicated: black triangles, glomerular capsule lumen atrophy with periglomerular inflammatory infiltration; blue triangles, disorganized arrangement of tubular epithelial cells; red triangles, tubular vacuolization. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6). Asterisks (*) denote significant differences between the B[a]P group and the corresponding control group: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. Hashtags (#) indicate significant differences across time points within the control or B[a]P-treated groups: # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001.
