Comparison of designated protein levels examined by western blot pattern in renal tissue from experimental rats: Aa Protein bands and quantification of AGEs levels Bb Protein bands and quantification of HMW- and LMW-CML and Cc Protein bands and quantification of RAGEs (spliced variants), separately: The increased STZ-induced depositions were significantly diminished in DN-treated cinnamaldehyde, CD (20 mg/kg) and -aminoguanidine, AG groups. Actin served as a loading control. Quantification values were expressed mean ± SD as per column (n = 8–12 per group). *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001 vs. DN group, (One-way ANOVA was performed with Bοnferrοni pοst hοc test) assorted relatively against control group set as 1 (indicated in black-dashed lines). HMW-CML High Molecular Weight-n-Carbοxymethyl lysine, LMW-CML Lοw Mοlecular Weight-n-Carbοxymethyl lysine
