Rosuvastatin inhibited contrast media-induced renal cell apoptosis. Contrast media increases TUNEL-positive renal tubular cell number, whereas rosuvastatin pretreatment prevented contrast media-induced apoptosis. A: non-diabetic rats + contrast media group, B: diabetic group, C: diabetic + contrast media group, D: diabetic + rosuvastatin group, E: diabetic + rosuvastatin + contrast media group. *P < 0.01 vs A, B, D and E; +P < 0.05 vs A, B and D; # P < 0.05 vs B, D. Scale bar: 20 μm.
