Figure 2From: Peroxynitrite-induced Nitration of Cyclooxygenase-2 and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Promotes Their Binding in Diabetic AngiopathyPathological changes in the glomerulus of the diabetic rat. HE staining (A) and periodic acid Schiff staining (B) of the glomerulus in different groups (×400). (C) Ultrastructure of glomerulus under a TEM (×20K). The pathological changes in the glomerulus and its basement membrane were not found in the control group. Glomerular swelling was observed in the diabetes group. The pathological changes in the glomerulus and its basement membrane were significantly lighter in the diabetes + urate group than in the diabetes group (arrows indicate the glomerular basement membrane).Back to article page
