a Kidney of normal control group, showing normal renal tubules and glomeruli; b kidney of obesity group showing vacuolar degenertion of epithelial lining of most of renal tubules (black long arrows); c kidney of obesity group showing dilatation of glomerular capillaries with partial hyalinization of glomerulus tuft (focal glomerular sclerosis) (black long arrow) and accumulation of glomerular foam cells (black short arrows); d kidney of obesity group showing severe glomerular hyalinization (glomerular sclerosis) (black stars) and vacuolation of glomerular tuft; e kidney of obesity group showing glomerular hyalinization (glomerular sclerosis), severe necrosis of renal tubules (black long arrows), cyctic dilatation of renal tubules, and interstitial fibrosis associated with inflammatoy cell infiltration (black short arrows); and f kidney of obesity group, showing marked cytic dillatation of renal tubules (black stars), massive perivscular agreggations of inflammatory cells (black long arrows), dilatation, and congestion of blood vessel (H&E, × 100)
