Therapeutic role of leaves ethanolic extract against diabetic nephropathy in rats neonatally induced by streptozotocin.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is manifested by chronic loss of renal function due to damage of glomeruli and renal tubules. Therefore, this study is mainly designed to evaluate the therapeutic role of (neem) leaves extract as a novel approach for treatment of DN in rats neonatally induced by streptozotocin (STZ). For this study, 40 offspring were selected after parturition and categorized into four groups (n = 10).
