Abstract
Aim: Sex-dependent differences in kidney histology have been observed in different species of the laboratory animals. The present study was conducted to evaluate the sex and strain-dependent changes in DBA/2CrSlc mouse kidney morphology by using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Methods: A total of 12 DBA/2CrSlc male and female mice of 2 months of age were used in this study. Mice were sacrificed by exsanguination under anesthesia using a mixture of Ketamine and Medetomidine. Both right and left kidney s were removed aseptically and central slices including hilum were cut perpendicular to the long axis of the organ and preserved in Zamboni solution. Paraffin blocks were made and tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and PAS stains to o bserve the general morphology of the kidney glomerulus. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect renin positive
