Therapeutic effects of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) on urine protein excretion in diabetic rats. Proteinuria was well established at 12 weeks after intraperitoneal injection of STZ. Reduction of proteinuria was not observed in diabetic rats until 24 weeks after three doses of ASCs. Beginning at 28 weeks, urinary protein excretion was significantly suppressed, which persisted up to 32 weeks after STZ injection. Data are means±standard deviations (SD; n=8–9). *P<0.05 versus NX; ▵P<0.05 versus DN.
