Fig. 7From: The promotion of nephropathy by Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide via toll-like receptorsDistribution of STAT3-positive cells in the diabetic mouse kidneys. The STAT3 was detected in the TLR2-positive glomeruli of the STZ-induced type 1 diabetic mice (STZ) and in the diabetic mice administered Pg-LPS (STZ-LPS). The number of glomeruli with both TLR2 and STAT3 expression is larger in the diabetic mice administered Pg-LPS than in the diabetic mice not administered Pg-LPS. There are also some glomeruli with TLR2 and STAT3 expression in the eritoran-administered diabetic mice administered Pg-LPS (eritoran). Bars: 100 μmBack to article page
