Glomerular podocyte injury in RK rats is attenuated by SF. (a) Western blot analysis of nephrin in the plasma membrane-enriched fraction of the kidney in RK and RK + SF rats. Bar graphs show the results of quantitation (n = 4 each group). (b) Representative micrographs of immunostaining for desmin, a marker for podocyte injury. Bar graphs show the quantitative evaluation of desmin staining in the glomeruli. Bar in the upper panel represents 100 μm. Bar in the lower panel represents 50 μm. (c) Transmission electron micrographs of podocyte foot process in the glomeruli of indicated animals. Bar represents 5 μm. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM; *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01.
