Fig. 6From: Buyang Huanwu Decoction protects against STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting TGF-β/Smad3 signaling-mediated renal fibrosis and inflammationThe underlying mechanisms by which BHD protects against diabetic nephropathy in vivo. A Western blot and quantitative analysis of phosphorylated Smad3, p65, Smad7 and Arkadia. B Immunohistochemical staining and quantitative analysis of phosphorylated Smad3 and p65 nuclear translocation in different groups. Scale bar: 50 µm. DM, diabetes mellitus. Data represent the means ± SEM for groups of six animals. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus normal mice. #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 versus DM miceBack to article page
