Effects of CTPT extract and allopurinol on GLUT9 protein expression in renal tissues in potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic mice. Normal control and untreated potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic mice groups were treated with water. Treatment groups were potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic mice treated with allopurinol (5 mg/kg) and 500 and 1000 mg/kg CTPT extract, respectively. At the end of the study, renal homogenates of mice were immunoblotted with anti-GLUT9 and anti-GAPDH antibodies. The relative GLUT9 protein levels were quantified and expressed as the fold increase over normal control mice and are shown as the mean ± SEM (n = 4) for each group. *p < 0.05 compared with control mice. CTPT and Allo represent chatuphalatika extract and allopurinol, respectively.
