Figure 6

Effects of sitagliptin on apoptosis. Apoptotic cells detected in the kidneys stained with TUNEL (A). Representative western blot and group data showing cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, and Bax protein abundance in the kidneys of rats from each group (B). The intensity of the bands corresponding to cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, and Bax was corrected by β-actin 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. Magnification × 200.
