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

Figure 5

Effect of EVA on antioxidant enzyme activity in vivo and in vitro. After treatment of EVA on STZ-induced rats, (a) SOD activity was detected in the kidney of DN rats; (b) CAT activity was detected in the kidney of DN rats; (c) GSH-Px activity was detected in the kidney of DN rats. Results are presented with (). ^# compared to control group, compared to STZ-induced group, compared to STZ-induced group. After treatment of EVA on HG-induced cells, (d) SOD activity was detected using a standard assay; (e) CAT activity was detected using a standard assay; (f) GSH-Px activity was detected using a standard assay. Data are shown as the percentage of the control group, and results are presented with (). ^# compared to control group, compared to HG-induced group, compared to HG-induced group.
