Risedronate Attenuates Podocyte Injury in Phosphate Transporter-Overexpressing Rats

Figure 5

Immunofluorescence microscopy for desmin (green) in glomeruli of WT-C (a and e), WT-R (b and f), TG-C (c and g), and TG-R rats (d and h) at 12 weeks of age. Double-labeled immunostaining for laminin (red) was carried out to locate the glomerular capillary wall. Experimental groups were as follows: wild-type littermates (WT) without risedronate administration (WT-C), WT rats with risedronate administration (WT-R), Pit-1 TG rats with risedronate administration (TG-R), and Pit-1 TG rats without risedronate administration (TG-C). Bar = 50 μm (a, b, c, and d). Bar = 25 μm (e, f, g, and h).
