GFs coacervate administration inhibits excessive ERS in the DPN rats. (A) Sciatic nerve tissues samples were analyzed with Western Blotting for the expression of GRP-78, ATF-6, XBP-1, ATF-4, CHOP and Csapase-12. GAPDH was used for band density normalization. (B) The optical density analysis of GRP-78, ATF-6, XBP-1, ATF-4, CHOP and Csapase-12. *** P < 0.001 versus the control group, # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001 versus the STZ-diabetes group, && P < 0.01, &&& P < 0.001 versus the free GFs group. Mean values ± SD, n=8. (C) Immunofluorescent staining of CHOP and caspase-12 in each group. Scale bars=50 μm.
