Figure 1

Effects of NAR on renal morphology and functions in diabetic rats. (a) Blood glucose level, (b) 24 h urinary protein, (c) urinary creatinine clearance ratio (Ccr), (d) kidney index (KI) which equals right kidney weight/body weight × 1000, (e) glomerular area (GA), and (f) representative photograph for hematoxylin-eosin (HE, ×400) are shown. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation, CON (), DN (), and NAR (). (a–d) , , and versus CON group; , , and versus DN group.
