Blood pressure profile of NSD and HSD over 5-months of treatments. (A) Systolic blood pressure (SBP), (B) diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and (C) mean arterial pressure (MAP). (D) Representative H&E photomicrographs of cardiac myocytes obtained from rats fed with HSD or NSD for 1 month and 5 months. Arrow, nucleus of cardiac myocyte; C, vascular capillary; R, red blood cell. Scale bars, 20 μM. (E) Cardiac myocyte diameter of rats receiving HSD or NSD for 1 and 5 months. (F) Representative H&E photomicrographs of renal tissue obtained from rats fed with HSD or NSD for 1 month and 5 months. Bowman’s capsule (arrow) and glomerulus (G) were presented. Alteration of Bowman’s capsule areas was evident in HSD groups (arrowheads). Scale bars, 50 μm. (G,H) Quantitative analysis of the Bowman’s space and total Bowman’s capsule areas revealed an increase after the fifth month HSD consumption. Numbers of animals in each group are shown in parentheses. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001 compared to period-matched NSD.
