Quercetin’s effects on DKD rats’ renal function and tissue injury. (A) Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) rat model establishment with STZ and treatment regimen. (B) Post-12-week blood glucose level following quercetin or Fer-1 administration. Measurements at 12 weeks included urine albumin (C), creatinine (D), and UCAR (E). Kidney weight (F), body weight (G), and kidney/body weight ratio (H) were also assessed. (I) Kidney sections stained with HE (upper), and PAS (bottom) across groups (scale bar = 50 μm). Groups: CON (control), DKD (model), DKD + QCT (quercetin-treated), DKD + Fer-1 (Ferrostatin-1-treated). Mean data ± SD are shown. Significance levels: ****p < 0.0001; ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05 via one-way ANOVA.
