Combined Melatonin and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy Enhances Podocyte Protection and Ameliorates Kidney Function in a Diabetic Nephropathy Rat Model by Chang-Chun Hsiao, You-Syuan Hou, Yu-Hsuan Liu, Jih-Yang Ko, Chien-Te Lee

“…This is likely primarily because Mel combined with SW therapy significantly reduced renal inflammation (753 ± 46 pg/mg, <i>p</i> < 0.01), renal oxidative stress (0.6 ± 0.04 relative density, <i>p</i> < 0.05), and apoptosis (0.3 ± 0.03 relative density, <i>p</i> < 0.001), and also significantly increased cell proliferation (2.0 ± 0.2% area proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), <i>p</i> < 0.01), cell survival, and nephrin level (4.2 ± 0.4 ng/mL, <i>p</i> < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: Mel combined SW therapy enhances podocyte protection and ameliorates kidney function in a DN rat model. …”
