Low-Dose Radiation Activates Akt and Nrf2 in the Kidney of Diabetic Mice: A Potential Mechanism to Prevent Diabetic Nephropathy
Figure 1
Effects of LDR on the body weight and blood glucose in diabetic mice. Diabetic and age-matched control mice were irradiated in whole body with LDR (25 mGy, 3 × 25 mGy, or 75 mGy). Body weights (a) and fasting blood glucose levels (b) were measured before and after diabetes as well as before and after LDR at indicated time points (). Data was presented as mean ± SD. versus Control. Pre-STZ: before diabetes induction by STZ; Pre-LDR: before diabetic and age-matched control mice were irradiated with LDR.
