Establishment of an experimental mouse model of DN. (A) Relative UACR in each group at different time intervals (weeks 8, 16 and 24). (B) H&E, PAS and Trichrome Masson staining were performed to examine the pathological changes in dissected kidneys from each group. Mice were fed for 24 weeks and experienced significant renal damage as evidenced by the UACR and other parameters presented in Table II. *P<0.05, DN vs. control; #P<0.05, DN+L-NAME vs. control. DN, diabetic nephropathy; UACR, urine albumin (µg) to creatinine (µg) ratio; H&E, haemotoxylin and eosin; PAS, Periodic acid-Schiff; L-NAME, NG-nitro-L-Arginine methylester.
