Protective Effects of Pyridoxamine Supplementation in the Early Stages of Diet-Induced Kidney Dysfunction

Figure 7

Effects of HD and pyridoxamine administration on kidney RhoA pathway activation. Total protein expressions of RhoA (a), MYPT1 (b), and their related phosphorylated forms were analyzed by western blot on kidney homogenates obtained from mice exposed to SD or HD, with or without pyridoxamine administration (150 mg/kg/day). Protein expression is measured as relative optical density (OD), corrected for the corresponding total protein contents and normalized to the SD band. The data are means ± SEM, five animals per group. versus SD; versus HD.
