| Normal control rats | Diabetic control rats | Diabetic + green tea rats | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kidney | |||
| Cortex | 6,421 ± 541 | 10,825 ± 447* | 5,101± 375 |
| Outer medulla | 6,567 ± 677 | 11,074 ± 305* | 6,212 ± 715 |

| Liver | 2,514 ± 240 | 5,815 ± 635* | 2,014 ± 670 |
Values are means ± SEM (n = 4). Each value represents the number of pixels that exceeded an arbitrary staining threshold per 300 × 300 pixel area. *P < 0.05 versus geen tea-treated diabetic rats and normal rats.
