GSJD ameliorated apoptosis in the kidneys of rats. (a) Representative images of TUNEL staining among 6 groups (scale bars 50 μm); (b) Quantification of the apoptosis rate in each group; (c-f) Western blot analysis of BCL-2, Bax, Akt and p-Akt protein expression in each group, with quantification. Data were analysed by one-way ANOVA and presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 3). *P < 0.05 DN vs. NC, **P < 0.01 DN vs. NC and ^#P < 0.05 vs. DN.
