Number of BrdU-positive tubular cells migrating into the interstitium of the UUO kidneys. a Total count of BrdU-positive cells in the contralateral and UUO kidneys at 4, 6, 8, and 10 days after operation. Values are means ± SE (n = 5). b Number of BrdU-positive tubular cells in contralateral and UUO kidneys at 4, 6, 8, and 10 days after operation. Values are means ± SE (n = 5). c Total count of interstitial BrdU-positive cells and BrdU-positive cells on crossing TBM in the sham-operated, contralateral, and UUO kidneys at 8 days after operation. Values are means ± SE (n = 5). *P < 0.05 vs. sham-operated kidneys or contralateral kidneys. d Number of BrdU-positive cells on crossing TBM in the contralateral and UUO kidneys at 4, 6, 8, and 10 days after operation. Values are means ± SE (n = 5). *P < 0.05 vs. contralateral kidneys on the same days. e Number of interstitial BrdU-positive cells in the contralateral and UUO kidneys at 4, 6, 8, and 10 days after operation. Values are means ± SE (n = 5). *P < 0.05 vs. contralateral kidneys on the same days
