Effects on glomerular number and size during hypertension development. a The relative number of glomeruli per square millimeter of renal cortex was significantly lower in 8-week-old SHRs than in WKYs (*p < 0.05). No substantial changes in number were observed among WKYs during the 8 weeks studied. b A significant decrease in glomerular diameter was found in 8-week-old SHRs relative to WKYs (*p < 0.05). As with the number of glomeruli, no substantial changes in glomerular size were observed among WKYs. Results are mean ± SEM; n =5
