Semiquantitative evaluation of MCP-1 immunohistochemistry. For glomerular staining (A) more than 100 glomeruli per kidney section were classified 0 to 3 (see methods and figure 5 for details). The percentage of glomeruli assigned to a given score value is shown. For interstitial MCP-1 scores (B), 20 low-power cortical fields were classified 0 to 4 (see methods for details). The percentage of interstitial fields assigned to a given score value is shown. 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 Sprague-Dawley (SD) control rats.
