Propyl Gallate Plays a Nephroprotective Role in Early Stage of Diabetic Nephropathy Associated with Suppression of Glomerular Endothelial Cell Proliferation and Angiogenesis

Table 2

Oxidative stress parameters in different groups (means ± SD). Data show increased oxidative stress in DN glomeruli, and propyl gallate treatment improve the intra-glomerular oxidative state.
