Podocyte Injury and Albuminuria in Experimental Hyperuricemic Model Rats

Figure 5

Involvement of oxidative stress in the glomerular injury in hyperuricemic rats. (a) Urinary levels of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG) were measured in control (Ctrl) and hyperuricemic rats (HUA). (b) Staining of 8OHdG in the glomeruli. Arrows indicate the enhancement of the staining. Bar represents 50 μm. (c) Quantitative evaluation of 8OHdG staining in the glomeruli. 8OHdG-positive nuclei were counted as percentage of total glomerular nuclei. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; for (a); for (c). ; .
