Podocyte number at 6 weeks after STZ injection in rats. Diab. + ins. = data for diabetic rats that received twice daily insulin injections beginning 3 days after STZ injection. Data are presented as numbers of podocytes per glomerular section and of glomerular volume pre podocyte (GV/P [μm3]). Six week trial data were combined for this analysis. N = 11 (Control), 10 (Diabetes) or 6 (Diab. + ins). Staining for both WT1 and GLEPP1 is displayed. * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.0001
