Low-Dose Radiation Activates Akt and Nrf2 in the Kidney of Diabetic Mice: A Potential Mechanism to Prevent Diabetic Nephropathy

Figure 3

Effects of LDR on renal Akt2 expression in diabetic mice. Animals were treated and renal tissues were collected as described in Figure 2. The localization of Akt2 expression in the kidney was examined by immunochemical staining (a) and the expression of Akt2 and total Akt were detected by western blotting (b) followed by quantitative analysis (c). Data was presented as mean ± SD.   ^∗𝑃<0.05  versus Control, ^#𝑃<0.05versus DM.
