Representative renal morphology at 2 (a, bar scale; 30 μm) and 12 (b, bar scale; 50 μm) weeks after clipping, glomerulosclerosis index at 2 (closed bar) and 12 (open bar) weeks after clipping (c), and tubulointerstitial damage at 2 (closed bar) and 12 (open bar) weeks after clipping (d) of the clipped and the non-clipped kidneys of two-kidney, one-clip Goldblatt hypertensive rats treated with vehicle (n=3 at 2 weeks and n=8 at 12 weeks after clipping), HRP (n=3 at 2 weeks and n=9 at 12 weeks after clipping) and scramble peptide (n=3 at 2 weeks and n=3 at 12 weeks after clipping). *P<0.05 vs. vehicle.
