From: Qiwei granules alleviates podocyte lesion in kidney of diabetic KK-Ay mice
Effect of Qiwei granules on phosphorylation of Akt and cleavage of caspase-3 signaling in the kidney of KK-Aymice. (A) Protein expression levels of pAkt, Akt, cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3 in renal tissues of three groups were analyzed by western blotting. Rate of Akt phosphorylation and caspase-3 activation were shown in (B) and (C). Data were presented as mean ± SEM (n = 5) normalized to GAPDH protein expression. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 compared to KK-Ay vehicle group.
