Figure 7

Electron microscopy of renal tissues. (a and b) BSA group shows subepithelial electron-dense deposits, GBM loss of trilaminar structure, podocyte swelling, and loss of foot processes. (c and d) Model group shows electron-dense deposits in the subepithelial as well as intramembranous region. (e) Proximal tubular cell of Model group shows senescent mitochondria, autophagosomes, and increased endocytosomes.
