Fig. 3. Western blot analysis indicated the anti-DR effects of APS.
(A) Body weight change of rats during experiment. (B) Insulin levels in different groups (##p < 0.01 compared with the control group; *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared with the model group). (C) Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) of rats during experiment. (D–F) Two DR relative indicators VEGF and STAT were reduced by APS. n = 3 in each group, values are presented as mean ± SD. #p < 0.05 compared with the control group; *p < 0.05 compared with the model group. DR, diabetic retinopathy; APS, astragalus polysaccharide.
