Mild glomerular morphologic changes are observed in Pla2g5^−/− mice.

<p>PAS reagent was used for analysis of the mesangial surface of corticomedullary (A, B) and subcapsular glomeruli (C, D), as described in the Materials and Methods. Representative photomicrographs (magnification 40×) of (A) the corticomedullary glomerulus and (C) the subcapsular glomerulus. (B) Quantitative analysis of the corticomedullary and (D) subcapsular glomeruli (n = 6 per group). The results are expressed as means ± SE. *Statistically significant in relation to WT mice (P < 0.05).
