Renal Protective Effect of Xiao-Chai-Hu-Tang on Diabetic Nephropathy of Type 1-Diabetic Mice
Figure 3
Effect of XCHT on TGF-1, fibronectin, collagen IV, and BMP-7 expression in the kidney of normal or STZ-diabetic mice after 4 weeks of treatment ( in each group). (a) The mRNA expression of TGF-1, fibronectin, collagen IV, and BMP-7 in the kidney of mice was detected using RT-PCR. -actin mRNA expression was included as internal control. (b) Western blot analysis of TGF-1, fibronectin, collagen IV, and BMP-7 expression in the kidney of the test mice. Representative data are shown.
