Effects of Low-Protein Diets Supplemented with Ketoacid on Expression of TGF-β and Its Receptors in Diabetic Rats
Figure 3
Protein expressions of TGF-β and its receptors in the experimental groups. Representative western blotting analyses (a, b, and c) and group data of the abundance of TGF-β1 (d), TβRI (e), and TβRII (f) in the kidney of the experimental groups. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; versus NPD, LPD, and LPD + KA; versus LPD and LPD + KA; versus LPD. NPD: normal protein diet; LPD: low-protein diet; LPD + KA: low-protein diet supplemented with ketoacids.
