Timeline of animal experiments. After 1 week of adaptive feeding, STZ (50 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally to establish the DN model. Diabetic rats were randomly divided into model group (DN), positive control group (captopril 10 mg/kg) and two groups (FSE 0.4, 0.8 g/kg). After 14 weeks of dosing, serum and urine were collected to measure renal function. NC, Normal Control; DN, Diabetic Nephropathy group; CAP, Captopril group; FSE-H, High-dose FSE treatment group; FSE-L, Low-dose FSE treatment group.
