Histopathological changes in renal tissue of the normal and diabetic mice. (a) Control group—renal glomeruli (G) with preserved subcapsular spaces (left) and collecting tubules (stars) without changes in the medullary region (right); (b) diabetic nontreated—retracted glomerular tufts (G) with increased subcapsular space and evident thickening of parietal layer of Bowman’s capsule due to have been entirely replaced by the cuboidal cells (left) and preserved collecting tubules (stars) (right). Haematoxylin-eosin: 400x.
