Ultrastructural changes in the kidney from STZ-induced hyperglycaemic rats with or without alpha 2u-globulin nephropathy. a: Epithelial cells in the PCT without alpha 2u-globulin deposition; d,e: epithelial cells in the PCT with alpha 2u-globulin deposition (*) and vacuolated degeneration (+), intact (b; *) and swelling or degenerative (f; *) mitochondria in the rats with (f) or without (b) alpha 2u-globulin nephropathy; c,g: podocyte foot processes (arrow) in the rats with (g) or without (c) alpha 2u-globulin nephropathy; h: hyaline cast (*) deposition in the urinary space; h-inset: higher magnification of the lamellated body
