Effects of Self-Made Prescription Compound Rhodiola on the Ultrastructure of Podocytes in Rats with Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy.

Background: We attempt to discuss the function of self-made prescription compound Rhodiola rosea on the kidneys of rats with type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN), through studying the effects of self-made rescription compound Rhodiola rosea on the ultrastructure of podocytes in rats with DN.

Methods: DN rat model was established by streptozotocin. The successfully modeled rats were divided into 4 groups, DN group, compound Rhodiola low-dose group, medium-dose group, and high-dose group.
