Treadmill Exercise Training Ameliorates Functional and Structural Age-Associated Kidney Changes in Male Albino Rats

<div>Representative micrographs of PAS-stained renal sections of the different groups under study (a) young; (b, c) sedentary aged (aged-S); (d) exercised aged (aged-Ex); <i>N</i> = 10/group. PAS-stained renal sections of the aged-S rats showed deposition of PAS-positive material within the glomerulus tuft (star) with thickening of the glomerular basement membrane (arrow). Deposition of PAS-positive material, mostly cast formation (asterisk), was also noted. These changes are ameliorated in the aged-Ex group (PAS 40x, scale bar = 20 <i>µ</i>m). <i>N</i> = number of rats.</div>
