Figures & data
Figure 1. Hypertrophy and atrophy during different stages of diabetes. (A) H&E staining of kidney section showed increase in the proximal tubular cells size as well as basement membrane thickness in 2 months old of diabetic mice (db/db) compared to kidney from wild type (WT) mice. (B) On the other hand, decrease in proximal tubular cells size showed in kidney of 8 months old of diabetic mice (db/db) compared to WT mice at the same age. Double arrowheads marked the size of proximal tubular cells in kidney of WT and diabetic mice (db/db). Photographs were taken under same magnification (40X).
