Smad7 gene therapy attenuates diabetic kidney injury in rats. A: Blood glucose. B: Microalbuminuria. C: Histology. When compared with the diabetic rats (DM) and empty vector control DM rats (VC), Smad7 gene therapy attenuates microalbuminuria and ECM deposition within the glomerulus and tubulointerstitium. Data represent mean ± SE for groups of six animals. **P < 0.01 vs. normal; ###P < 0.001 vs. DM and VC. (A high-quality color representation of this figure is available in the online issue.)
