Injury to the Endothelial Surface Layer Induces Glomerular Hyperfiltration Rats with Early-Stage Diabetes
Figure 2
(a)-(b) Representative light microscopy images of glomeruli (original magnification, 400×) in nondiabetic control rats (a) and diabetic rats (b). (c) Mesangial index in control and diabetic rats, expressed quantitatively by calculating the percentage of the total glomerular area. * versus (c) for each group. Each column represents the mean ± SD.
