Insulin and glucose tolerance tests in rats fed a high-fructose diet with normal or low sodium content. (a) Insulin tolerance test (ITT). (b) Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT). N=8 in each diet. Data are shown as means±s.e.m. *P<0.05 versus NSC diet; †P<0.05 versus NSF diet. AUC, area under the curve; LSF, low-sodium, high-fructose diet; NSC, normal-sodium control diet; NSF, normal-sodium, high-fructose diet.

Fibrosis and macrophage infiltration in the kidney. (a) Representative microphotographs of Sirius red staining (top panel) and immunohistochemistry for ED1 (bottom panel) in the cortex. Arrows indicate ED1-positive macrophages. Scale bar=50μm. (b) Quantitative analysis of collagen deposition (% stained area in glomeruli and tubulointerstitium) and ED1-positive macrophage infiltration (number of positive cells per mm2 of tissue). N=8 in each diet. Data are shown as means±s.e.m. *P<0.05 versus NSC diet; †P<0.05 versus NSF diet. LSF, low-sodium, high-fructose diet; NSC, normal-sodium control diet; NSF, normal-sodium, high-fructose diet.

(a) Center panel depicts podocyte foot process effacement (black arrows) with increases in podocyte base width and loss of the slit pore diaphragm in NSF rats. Right panel depicts the uniformity of podocytes processes in LSF rats. (b) Ultrastructural analysis of glomerular filtration barrier measures. N=5 in each diet. Data are shown as means±s.e.m. *P<0.05 versus NSC diet; †P<0.05 versus NSF diet. Bar=500nm.
