Effects of C66 (5 mg·kg−1·day−1) on renal NF-κB activation in diabetic rats. After the diabetic rats were killed, the rat kidney tissues in control group (Con), DM group and DM + C66 5 mg·kg−1 group were collected and homogenized to detect IKKα, p-IκBα and p-p65 by Western blot. Actin was used as a loading control. The columns show the normalized optical density of respective protein and represent the mean ± SEM of each group (two rats in SD group, three rats in DM group, three rats in DM + C66 5 mg·kg−1 group) (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01).
