Figure 1a & 1b: The cross sectional area of the glomerular tuft area is larger in the obese than in the lean subjects (original magnification x200). (a) Lean subject: the cross sectional area of this glomerular tuft (dotted arrow) is 15,460 μ² (mean cross sectional area of the lean group: 15,800 μ²). (b) Obese subject: the cross sectional area of this glomerular tuft (arrow) is 24,730 μ² (mean cross sectional area of the obese group: 25,500 μ²).

Figure 1c & 1d: The cross sectional area of Bowman’s space is larger in the obese than in the lean subjects (original magnification x200). (c) Lean subject: the area of this Bowman’s space cross section (dotted arrow) is 3090 μ² (mean cross sectional area of the lean group: 3400 μ²). (d) Obese subject: the area of this Bowman’s space cross section (arrow) is 4640 μ² (mean cross sectional area of the obese group: 4800 μ²).
