Effect of HLJDD on inhibiting phosphorylation of STAT 3 (p-STAT 3). a p-STAT 3 was measured on paraffin sections of the kidneys at the end of 8 week by immunohistochemistry (×400): (a) Control group; (b) Model group; (c) HLJDD group; (d) HLJDD + Prednisone group; (e) Prednisone group. b Mean density of p-STAT 3 was measured by Image-Pro Plus v 6.0. c Further analysis was to measure p-STAT 3 by Western blot. d Western blot of p-STAT 3 were subjected to semi-quantitative analysis by Image J. Values are presented as mean ± SD. ^##p < 0.01 versus control group, **p < 0.01 versus model group, *p < 0.05 versus model group. Western blot were repeated > 3 times
