Effect of S and MI on kidney histopathology, using periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining. The PAS stain revealed dilation of the PCTs while preserving PCT brush borders, in the smoking (S) group. However, MI and S+MI groups showed prominent focal loss of the brush border of PCTs. Results are representatives of five different mice in each group (). Scale bars are 50 μm.
