Figure 4From: Preventive effect of taurine on experimental type II diabetic nephropathyLevels of kidney basement membrane adherent protein expression. A: LNB1mRNA expression level of the control group At the end of the 6th and the 10th weeks, B: LNB1mRNA expression level of the spontaneous recovery group At the end of the 6th and the 10th weeks, C:LNB1mRNA expression level of high concentration of taurine group At the end of the 6th and the 10th weeks, D: LNB1mRNA expression level of the medium concentration of taurine group At the end of the 6th and the 10th weeks, E: LNB1mRNA expression level of the low concentration of taurine group At the end of the 6th and the 10th weeks. Results are presented as mean±SD (n=4). *: significantly different from control group (p<0.05), **: extremely significantly different from control group (p<0.01).Back to article page
