AGE accumulation in the renal glomeruli of exogenous MGO-injected rats. (a) Immunohistochemistry of AGEs. ×400 magnification. NOR: normal control rats; MGO: exogenous MGO-injected rats; AG: MGO treated with aminoguanidine (50 mg/kg); EP10: MGO treated with EP (10 mg/kg); EP25: MGO treated with EP (25 mg/kg); EP50: MGO treated with EP (50 mg/kg). (b) The immunohistochemically stained area was quantified at ×100 magnification. All data are expressed the (). ## vs. the NOR group; vs. the MGO group.
