The Blocking on the Cathepsin B and Fibronectin Accumulation in Kidney Glomeruli of Diabetic Rats

Figure 3

Comparison of cathepsin B activity in homogenates of glomeruli in study groups. Results were presented as mean ± SD and median (range). Activity of cathepsin B expressed per µg protein demonstrated statistically significant differences; ANOVA rang Kruskal-Wallis test value 0.001 and Duncan’s post hoc test DM versus EN + LOS ; DM versus SPIR ; EN versus EN + LOS ; EN versus SPIR ; LOS versus EN + LOS ; LOS versus SPIR ; EN + LOS versus DIH ; DIH versus SPIR . The activity of cathepsin B expressed per µg DNA. ANOVA rang Kruskal-Wallis test value 0.0015 and post hoc Duncan test DM versus EN + LOS ; EN versus EN + LOS ; EN versus SPIR ; LOS versus EN + LOS ; LOS versus SPIR ; EN + LOS versus DIH ; SPIR versus DIH .
