Effect of FST on the expression of podocyte marker proteins (n = 5). (a) Protein electrophoresis of each group of mice; DESMIN and PODOCIN protein level from each group of mice. Data are expressed as means ± SD. n = 6, ∗∗∗p < 0.001 compared to vehicle; ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 compared to DN. (b, c) Fluorescence staining of DESMIN and PODOCIN podocyte marker proteins.
