Fig. 9: Effect of AGE-BSA on acridine orange distribution.

a After exposure to 100 μg/ml AGE-BSA, podocytes were stained with acridine orange and viewed under a microscope. Concomitant with the increase of green fluorescence, a conspicuous reduction of red fluorescence was observed in podocytes treated with AGE-BSA. b Quantitative data for the mean fluorescence intensity of red or green signal. Scale bar, 10 μm. ***p < 0.001
