Figure 4 Effect of MDBT on pathological changes of renal tissue of DKD rats (HE, ×400) The black triangle: separation of the renal tubules from the renal sacs; The black arrow: the disappearance of the brush border of the renal tubules; The blue triangle: mesangial matrix in the glomeruli increased; The blue arrows: uniform thickening of the basement membrane within the glomeruli
Figure 5 Effect of MDBT on pathological changes of renal tissue of DKD rats (PAS, ×400) The black triangle: glycogen deposition in the glomeruli; The black arrow: the apparent disappearance of the brush edge of the renal tubules; The blue triangle: mesangial matrix in the glomeruli increased; The blue arrows: uniform thickening of the glomerular basement membrane
