AGE detoxification biomarkers in the kidney of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats after 45 days of treatment with yoghurt enriched with curcumin, alone or in combination with aminoguanidine. Representative lanes of protein levels as detected by western blot analysis for AGE-R1, GLO 1, and β-actin (a); densitometric analysis of western blot results for AGE-R1 (b) and GLO 1 (c). Values are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) (n = 6). Differences between groups were considered significant at p < 0.05 and were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test. ^ADifferences to NYOG. ^BDifferences to DYOG. ^CDifferences to DINS. ^DDifferences to DC. ^EDifferences to DA-50. ^FDifferences to DCA-50.
