Ethyl Vanillin Protects against Kidney Injury in Diabetic Nephropathy by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis

Figure 4

Effect of EVA to protect against diabetes-induced oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro. (a) Level of ROS was observed by a fluorescence microscope (×400): (A) Control, (B) HG only, (C) HG+1 μM EVA, (D) HG+3 μM EVA, and (E) HG+10 μM EVA. (b) Semiquantitative image analysis of ROS level. Data are presented as the percentage of control group (; ). # compared to control group; compared to HG-induced group. (c) Levels of MDA were detected by a standard method. Results are presented with (). # compared to control group; compared to STZ-induced group.
