Photomicrograph histological section of the kidneys and heart from rats fed with regular (Cont) or high-sodium (HS) diet. Panel A: cortical areas of the kidneys were evaluated and renal corpuscles analysed. Grey and white arrows point to the edges of the glomerular tuft (Gr) and Bowman’s capsule respectively. No inflammatory process was detected in the kidneys sections of both groups. Kidney photomicrographs were taken using 400x magnification (bar = 50 µm). Panel B: transversal cut of the hearts taken using 1x magnification (bar = 2 mm). Black arrow point to the edge of the left ventricle lumen (LVL).
