Morphometric analysis of glomeruli in ZDF fa/fa (□) and lean rats (▪). Incidence of glomerulosclerosis (A), desmin score (B), and glomerular volume (GV) (C) was significantly higher in ZDF-fa/fa rats compared with the lean controls as early as 5 months and increased further thereafter. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. The lower panels show the correlation between the percentage glomerulosclerosis and glomerular volume (D), percentage glomerulosclerosis and desmin score (E), and glomerular volume and desmin score (F).
