Effects of mesenchymal stem cell treatment on biochemical indexes. A: Flowchart of rat treatment from day 0 to week 6; B: Fasting blood glucose and 24-h urinary albumin concentration; C: Concentrations of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine in rat serum; D: Relative mRNA expression of caspase 3, Bax, and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2/Bax ratio in rat kidney tissues; E: Concentrations of glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde, and advanced glycation end products in rat kidney tissues; F: Levels of reactive oxygen species and superoxide dismutase in kidney tissues. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. aP < 0.001 vs normal control group, bP < 0.01 vs normal control group, cP < 0.05 vs diabetic kidney disease group. NC: Normal control; FBG: Fasting blood glucose; 24 h U-Alb: 24-h urinary albumin; BUN: Blood urea nitrogen; Scr: Serum creatinine; Bcl-2: B-cell lymphoma 2; Bax: BCL2-Associated X; GPx: Glutathione peroxidase; AGEs: Advanced glycation end products; MDA: Malondialdehyde; SOD: Superoxide dismutase; NC: Normal control; DKD: Diabetic kidney disease; MSCs: Mesenchymal stem cells.
