Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng, the Novel Renoprotective Compound, Synergistically Protect against Podocyte Injury in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Figure 5

Effects of AG and NG on podocyte apoptosis in diabetic rats. The triple-positive cells, WT1 (red), TUNEL (green), and DAPI (blue), were identified as the apoptotic podocytes. Control: normal control rats; DN: STZ-induced diabetic rats; losartan: DN rats treated with losartan; AG: DN rats treated with Astragalus membranaceus; NG: DN rats treated with Panax notoginseng; AG+NG: DN rats treated with Astragalus membranaceus plus Panax notoginseng.
