As anticipated, HF fed induced albuminuria, renal hypertrophy (by PAS staining and semi-quantification), and renal fibrosis (by qPCR analysis and IHC staining of TGF-beta 1 and Collagen IV) was attenuated by CD36 peptide treatment (Fig. 4A–D). The gene discussed is TGFB1; the disease is hypertrophy.
