Kidney inflammation was scored in a blinded fashion as described in Materials and Methods. Briefly, the presence and severities of the disease in the glomerular and interstitial compartments were arbitrarily graded as 0 (absent), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) or 3 (severe). Data are averaged from at least 5 microscopic fields per specimen, with 5-7 mice (8 month-old) per group.
P ≤ 0.05 versus control (One-way ANOVA).
