PPARα and PPARγ gene expression in model rat kidneys. (a) Gene expression was assessed by qRT-PCR using TaqMan assays ( for all groups). Data are presented as mean ± SE. compared with the control group; compared to the EG group. (b) Western blotting of rat kidneys for PPARα and PPARγ protein expression. The molecular mass of PPARα and PPARγ was confirmed by bands at 52 and 53 kDa, respectively.
