Effect of vitamin C on slit pore density in diabetic rats. The slit pore density was expressed as the number of slit pores between podocyte foot processes per millimeter length of glomerular basement membrane by electron microscopy. Representative electron photomicrographs show examples of slit pores (arrows), which are more prevalent in the diabetic rats. D, diabetic rats (A); D + VC, diabetic rats treated with vitamin C (B); C, non-diabetic control rats(C). Magnification, × 40,000. **p < 0.05 compared with C, ††p < 0.01 compared with D.
