PD inhibits cell apoptosis and ROS production in Drp1 siRNA‐infected primary podocytes. (a) Quantitative determination of cell apoptosis in Drp1 siRNA‐infected primary podocytes using flow cytometry. (b) Flow cytometry analysis of ROS levels in Drp1 siRNA‐infected primary podocytes. NG, primary podocytes (Scramble or siRNA infected) cultured in 5.3 mM D‐glucose; HG, primary podocytes (Scramble or siRNA infected) cultured in 30 mM D‐glucose; HG + PD, primary podocytes (Scramble or siRNA infected) cultured in 30 mM D‐glucose and 25 mM PD; NG + PD, primary podocytes (Scramble or siRNA infected) cultured in 5.3 mM D‐glucose and 25 mM PD. The results are presented as the mean ± SE (n = 10).*p < 0.05 versus NG; #p < 0.05 versus HG
