Effect of MMP2 KO on renal hypertrophy, RBF, GFR, and plasma creatinine levels in STZ-treated diabetic SS rats. A, Kidney weight in age-matched SS rats (SS), STZ-treated SS (SS-STZ), and MMP2 KO (MMP2 KO-STZ) rats, 12 weeks after induction of diabetes. B, RBF was measured by an ultrasound flow probe in age-matched SS rats (SS), STZ-treated SS (SS-STZ) and MMP2 KO (MMP2 KO-STZ) rats 12 weeks after induction of diabetes. C, GFR, measured by the clearance of FITC-inulin in SS, SS-STZ, and MMP2 KO-STZ rats 12 weeks after induction of diabetes. D, Plasma creatinine concentrations in SS, SS-STZ, and MMP2 KO-STZ rats, 12 weeks after induction of diabetes. Mean values ± SEM are presented. * indicates P < 0.05 versus the corresponding value measured in SS rats. # indicates P < 0.05 versus the corresponding value measured in SS-STZ rats.
