FTZ alleviates apoptosis of kidney tissue in DM-CHD minipigs. a TUNEL assay was performed on the kidney sections, and the green fluorescence pots are the apoptotic cells. b The expression of Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase 3, and Cleaved-caspase 3 protein in the kidney tissues. Values are the mean ± SEM. ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01(compared to Ctrl group); ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01 (compared to Mod group). (n = 4–5)
