Figure 1.
Metabolically-stressed kidney cortex show increased macrophage numbers and BIGH3 protein levels. Macrophages were stained with anti-CD68 antibody (red). BIGH3 antiserum staining and nuclei (DAPI) staining are green and blue, respectively. Images are from kidney cortices of healthy mice on a maintenance diet (MD) (A) (D) (G), a HFD (B) (E) (F) and from diabetic mice on a HFD (C) (F) (I). Short and long arrows indicate macrophages and BIGH3 protein respectively (H) (I). Scale bars (20 µm).
