Cellular and molecular fingerprinting of the glomerulus as a critical site of nephrotoxic injury by benzo(a)pyrene /

The present studies were conducted to assess the nephrotoxicity of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) in vivo and begin to define a plausible mechanism of toxicity using an in vitro model. Ten week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were challenged with BaP (10 mg/kg, i.p.) for up to 16 weeks. Kidney morphology, pr...
