NF-κB, IκB-α, COX-2, and iNOS protein levels in the kidney of STZ-induced diabetic rats. (a) NF-κB, (b) IκB-α, (c) COX-2, (d) iNOS. The results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Significance: ^a𝑃<0.05, ^b𝑃<0.01, ^c𝑃<0.001 versus DC. ND, nondiabetic normal rats; DC, diabetic control rats; DP, polymeric proanthocyanidin 10 mg/kg body weight-treated diabetic rats; DO, oligomeric proanthocyanidin 10 mg/kg body weight-treated diabetic rats.
