Figure 2From: Effects of diabetes and hypertension on macrophage infiltration and matrix expansion in the rat kidneyMacrophage infiltration of glomeruli (panel A) and interstitial space (panel B) of the kidney from rats with diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension. Glomerular macrophages are expressed as ED-1-positive cells per glomerular cross-section, interstitial macrophages as ED-1-positive cells per square mm. SD, normotensive normoglycemic control rats; TGR, transgenic hypertensive rats; STZ, streptozotocin treatment. Data are mean ± SEM of n = 5 rats. * indicates p < 0.05 versus normotensive normoglycemic SD control rats.Back to article page
