Quantifying Podocyte Number in a Small Sample Size of Glomeruli with CUBIC to Evaluate Podocyte Depletion of db/db Mice

Figure 7

On behalf of the entire podocyte number, a slight number of glomeruli were required in db/db mice. Taking (a) 5%, 7.5%, and 10% of the mean number of podocytes per glomerular as the statistical allowable error with total confidence level as 95%, (b) the corresponding sample size of the control group and db/db mice by the age of 8 w, 12 w, and 16 w was separately presented in the table by using the PASS software.
