PGG improves renal pathological changes in diabetic rats. The pathological changes, fibrosis and collagen deposition in renal tissues were in turn detected by (A) hematoxylin and eosin, (B) periodic acid-Schiff and (C) Masson staining. Magnification, x400. (D) The expression of fibrosis related proteins in DN rats with or without PGG treatment was detected by western blotting. **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001. PGG, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose; DN, diabetic nephropathy; GRE, Galla rhois extract; -L, low; 5 mg/kg; -H, high; 20 mg/kg.
