SKP alleviated renal fibrosis in DKD mice. A Western blot was performed to determine the expression of α-SMA Fibronectin and Vimentin in kidney tissues of each group. B–D The quantitative analysis for Western blotting results of α-SMA, Fibronectin and Vimentin. E, F Quantification of renal tissue fibrosis in mice. G Masson and Sirius red staining of kidney tissues of mice (400 × magnification, bar = 100 µm). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001vs. control group. ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, and ^###P < 0.001 vs. DKD group, ns no significance
