Effect of BSTL on the expression of AMPK in vivo. A Representative western blots of p-AMPKαT172 and total AMPKα in the kidneys of mice and quantitation of these results. B IHC staining of renal sections for p-AMPKαT172 in different groups, then assessed quantitatively for them (× 400). Scale bar, 30 µm. C Representative images of double immunofluorescent staining of glomerular synaptopodin and p-AMPKαT172 in different groups and quantitation of these results (× 400). Scale bar, 30 µm. ^*P < 0.05 vs. con; ^**P < 0.01 vs. con; ^##P < 0.01 vs. db/db. con, control mice; db/db, db/db mice; db/db + B, db/db mice treated with BSTL
