Ferulic Acid, an Angelica sinensis-Derived Polyphenol, Slows the Progression of Membranous Nephropathy in a Mouse Model
Figure 4
Ferulic acid increased the expression level of superoxide (SOD), glutathione (GPx), and catalase (CAT) in MN. At the end of the experiment, renal cortical tissues were processed by sonicator in a ratio of per mg tissue in 5 μL phosphate buffer for detecting the level of antioxidant enzymes SOD, GPx, and CAT. The renal cortical level of SOD (a), GPx (b), and CAT (c) was determined in NC, N-T, Pre-T, and Post-T groups (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01).
