Representative bar graph showing quantitative analysis of (B) nephritic injury index, (C) glomerular sclerosis score, and (D) tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Values are represented as mean ± SEM (n=6). P<0.05 was considered as significant. Statistical comparison: *Control vs STZ; **STZ vs STZ + PPE-AuNP (5 mg/kg); ***STZ vs STZ + PPE-AuNP (15 mg/kg); ^#STZ vs STZ + PPE-AuNP (25 mg/kg).
