Representative images showing tubular damages characterized by focal cast formation, slough and dilation of tubular epithelial cells (with ※, periodic acid-Schiff staining, magnification: 400X) in the cortex of kidney in rats (A-H). The fructose control rats had free access to 10% fructose in their drinking water over 5 weeks, while the consumption of fructose in the ginger (20 or 50 mg/kg)-treated (by gavage daily) rats was adjusted to that of the fructose control rats. The water-control rats had free access to tap water.
