Analyses of FA and MD values in the kidneys of 8-week-old WKY and SHR/ND rats. (a–d) Masson trichrome (MT) (a), Sirius Red (SR) (b), FA map (c), and MD map (d) of WKY (left panel) and SHR/ND (right panel) rat kidneys. Scale bars, 5 mm. (e,f) Quantification of FA (e) and MD (f) values in the CO, OS of outer medulla, IS of outer medulla, and IM of WKY and SHR/ND rat kidneys. *p < 0.05, WKY vs SHR. (g) FA values in the same portions of WKY (left panel) and SHR/ND (right panel) rat kidneys. The data are shown as mean ± SD.
