Renal morphology.

<p>The renal morphology of the leptin and/or losartan-treated rats. A representative image of the glomeruli of the sham (A), losartan (B), leptin (C) and leptin plus losartan-treated rats (D) (×20). Statistical analysis of the glomerular area of the rats treated for 7 days (E). A representative image of the glomeruli of the sham (F), losartan (G), leptin (H) and leptin plus losartan-treated rats (I) (×20). Statistical analysis of the glomerular area of the rats treated for 28 days (J). Statistical analysis of the fractional interstitial area of the rats treated for 28 days (K). *p<0.05 <i>versus</i> the sham and ^#p<0.05 <i>versus</i> the leptin-treated rats; G = glomeruli; bar = 100 μm. For the rats treated for 7 days: sham (n = 6); losartan (n = 6); leptin (n = 6); and leptin plus losartan (n = 6). For the rats treated for 28 days: sham (n = 6); losartan (n = 6), leptin (n = 8); leptin plus losartan (n = 6).
