Caspase‐3 activity measured in cultured podocytes in normal glucose (NG) or high glucose medium (HG) with apelin‐13 (light gray, with Ape‐13) or without addition of apelin‐13 (dark gray, w/o Ape‐13). Caspase‐3 activity was significantly increased in the high glucose environment. Addition of apelin‐13 to cells kept in HG medium decreased activity levels down to levels measured in the NG environment. *P < 0.05, n of 7 experiments per group
