Garlic Attenuates Plasma and Kidney ACE-1 and AngII Modulations in Early Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats: Renal Clearance and Blood Pressure Implications

Figure 9

GE treatment ameliorated changes in creatinine levels and creatinine clearance of diabetic rats. Creatinine levels in (a) serum (μmole/L) and (b) urine (mmole/hr) were determined at the end of the treatment period (week 8). (c) Creatinine clearance (mL/min) was calculated from these values. NR/NS: normal rats/normal saline treated; DR/NS: diabetic rats/normal saline treated; DR/GE: diabetic rats/garlic extract treated; significantly different compared to NR/NS; significantly different compared to DR/NS.
