Effects of sitagliptin on PI3K and Akt activity. Representative western blot and group data showing PI3K protein abundance and Akt phosphorylation in the kidneys of rats from each group. The intensity of the bands corresponding to PI3K was corrected by β-actin levels, and phospho-Akt intensity was corrected by total Akt levels. The results are expressed as the mean ± s.d. *Significantly different with respect to the sham-operated rats; #significantly different with respect to the nephrectomized rats; *# P < 0.05. Sham, sham operation; Nx, nephrectomy; Nx+STG, nephrectomy and sitagliptin treatment.
