Figure 9.
AGT protein localization in the kidney cortex proximal tubule segment (S)s of patients with diabetes. AGT protein expression in S1 was significantly greater (C) in patients with type 2 diabetes (B) compared with control subjects (A). AGT protein expression in S2 did not differ significantly (F) between and control subjects (D) and patients with type 2 diabetes (E). Data are presented as a fold-increase compared with the levels of control subjects. * P < 0.05 vs. control subjects. Green; AGT protein, Red; segment-specific marker. Magnification, x200 (scale bar, 100 μm). AGT: angiotensinogen; DN: diabetic nephropathy.
