Cordyceps cicadae Prevents Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Apoptosis by Regulating the SIRT1/p53 Pathway in Hypertensive Renal Injury

Figure 1

Effects of Cordyceps cicadae (C. cicadae) and resveratrol (RES) on urinary and plasmatic biochemical parameters in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). C. cicadae treatment significantly reduced 24-hour albuminuria, albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), and β2-MG level at the 28th week. C. cicadae: SHRs treated with 4 g/kg/d C. cicadae; RES : SHRs treated with 40 mg/kg/d resveratrol. and , as compared with WKY. and , as compared with SHR.
