Figure 3

Characteristic 3D imaging markers distinguish early or late stages of the renal lesions in UUO and FSGS mice. (a) Five images were identified: hedgehog-like, funnel-like, long beak-like, notched mushroom-like and earthworm-like (each highlighted in square). (b) The quantitative results were shown as the percentage of hedgehog-like, funnel-like, long beak-like, notched mushroom-like and earthworm-like images per field. (c) Image score of hedgehog-like, funnel-like, long beak-like, notched mushroom-like and earthworm-like images for UUO or FSGS. The horizontal dashed line indicates the level of the normal control mice. UUO-unilateral ureteral obstruction; FSGS-focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. n = 7 mice per group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.005.
