Propyl Gallate Plays a Nephroprotective Role in Early Stage of Diabetic Nephropathy Associated with Suppression of Glomerular Endothelial Cell Proliferation and Angiogenesis

Table 1

NO production and eNOS activity in different groups (means ± SD). Data show reduced NO production and decreased eNOS activity in DN glomeruli, and propyl gallate restored eNOS activity and NO production.

	control group	DN group	PG group
NO (𝜇mol/L)	127.36±45.85	55.81±16.82^*	95.38±22.16^#
eNOS activity (U/mL)	58.42±11.17	25.74±7.37^*	39.31±8.49^#

^*Significantly different compared to control group (𝑃<0.05). ^#Significantly different compared to DN group (𝑃<0.05).
