Effects of implantation of DFAT cells on proteinuria and renal function in adriamycin-induced nephropathy. Wistar rats were nephrectomized and were injected without adriamycin (Control) or with 4 mg/kg body weight adriamycin through the tail vein without DFAT cells (Saline) or with 106 DFAT cells that were injected through the renal artery (DFAT ia) or tail vein (DFAT iv) in rats after the nephrectomy. Urinary protein excretion (A) and serum levels of BUN (B) and creatinine (Cre) (C) were measured. Data are the mean ± SEM (n = 4). *P <0.05 and **P <0.01 in the indicated columns. BUN, blood urea nitrogen; DFAT, dedifferentiated fat; SEM, standad error of the mean.
