Attenuation of Diabetic Nephropathy in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) Rats with a Combination of Chinese Herbs (Tangshen Formula)

<table>A diagram demonstrates the possible effect of Tangshen Formula in ameliorating diabetic nephropathy. At the early or middle state of DN, TSF improve proteinuria and mild renal pathological changes by decreasing plasma viscosity and at the late stage of DN, TSF alleviated massive proteinuria and severe glomerulosclerosis by regulating the levels of cholesterol, glucose and rheological changes. The definitions of abbreviations and symbols in the diagram are DN: diabetic nephropathy; TSF: Tangshen Formula.</table>
