Taurine Alleviates the Progression of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetic Rat Model
Figure 8
VEGF and nephrin mRNA expression by quantitative real-time PCR in mouse cultured podocytes. (a) VEGF mRNA expression significantly decreased in the taurine-treated HG group compared to that of the HG group. (b) In the taurine-treated high glucose group, nephrin expression increased compared to the high glucose group. NC, normal glucose; HG, high glucose; HG + TA, taurine-treated high glucose. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. * compared with NG; † compared with HG.
