Research Excerpts

Effects

Uranyl acetate (UAc) has been generally used not only as a superb staining reagent for ultrathin sections of plastic-embedded biological materials, but also as high-contrast negative stains for biological macromolecules.

"Uranyl acetate solution has widely been used as staining reagent for samples processed for ultrastructural morphology, cytochemistry, and immunocytochemistry. "( Uranyl-Free Staining as a Suitable Contrasting Technique for Nuclear Structures at Transmission Electron Microscopy.

Treatment

Pretreatment with uranyl acetate (UA) induced a significant expression of Bcl-2 in the kidney. UA ameliorated CDDP-induced increases in Scr, the tubular damage score, and TUNEL-positive cells in the outer stripe of the outer medulla.
