Increase of SIRT3 counteracts podocyte damage and loss in BTBR ob/ob mice. (a,b) Representative images and quantification of glomerular nephrin (a) and nestin (b) expressions (red) in BTBR WT mice (n = 9) and in BTBR ob/ob mice treated with vehicle (n = 6) or honokiol (n = 9) at 14 weeks of age. (c) Representative images and morphometric analysis of glomerular volume, WT1-positive podocytes, expressed as number per glomerulus, and podocyte density in BTBR WT mice (n = 9) and in BTBR ob/ob mice treated with vehicle (n = 6) and honokiol (n = 9) at 14 weeks of age. Scale bars: 20 μm. Data are mean ± SEM and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, ***p < 0.001 vs BTBR WT mice; #p < 0.05, ###p < 0.001 vs BTBR ob/ob + vehicle.
