Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2. Diosgenin regulated SIRT6 and reduced lipid accumulation in glomerulus. (A,B) SIRT6 stained by immunohistochemistry, scale bar, 25 μm (A) and mean optic intensity quantified by Image Pro Plus (B, n = 6 for each group); (C,D) Double labeling of immunofluorescence about SIRT6 and WT1 (marker of podocyte) by confocal, scale bar, 50 μm (C) and mean fluorescence intensity quantified by Image Pro Plus(D, n = 6 for each group); (E) Lipid metabolism factors in glomerulus were measured by RT-qPCR, n = 6 for each group; (F) Inflammation factors in glomerulus were measured by RT-qPCR, n = 6 for each group; (G-I) Frozen section of kidney stained with Oil red and ADRP was stained by immunohistochemistry, scale bar, 25 μm (G), Oil red quantification by Image Pro Plus (H, n = 6 for each group) and ADRP quantified by Image Pro Plus (I, n = 6 for each group).
