Magnolia Extract (BL153) Ameliorates Kidney Damage in a High Fat Diet-Induced Obesity Mouse Model

Figure 2

BL153 prevented obesity-induced renal structural changes. Kidney weight was normalized by tibia length (a). Renal pathology was examined by using hematoxylin and eosin staining (b), and the arrows indicated glomerular enlargement and renal tubular epithelium damage. Qualitative analysis for glomerular enlargement was indicated by mean glomerular area (c). 𝑛=5; ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus LFD group; ^#𝑃<0.05 versus HFD group.
