Glomerular collagen expression. (A) Quantification of glomerular collagen by a picrosirius red (PSR) staining. No significant differences were found between the groups, however, CSU and all western diet groups tend to have increased collagen deposition in the glomeruli. (B–D) Representative photographs (magnification 80x) of glomerular PSR-positive area in C, CS, and CSU mice, respectively. (E) Quantification of glomerular immunostaining of collagen IV. CS mice have elevated glomerular collagen IV deposition and also W mice show increased collagen IV compared to C mice. (F–H) Representative photographs (magnification 80x) of collagen IV staining from C, CS, and CSU mice respectively. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01, #p < 0.05 in C vs. W comparison.
