In rats fed with high-cholesterol (HC) chow, the renal specimens were investigated by microscopy and enzymehistochemistry. The levels of serum lipids, 24 h urinary protein excretion (UPE), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and Nitric Oxide (NO) were evaluated. Histological examination showed cell swelling, break-down and massive lipid deposition in renal tubules; perivascular and interstitial cell infiltration and mesangial cell proliferation. Enzymehistochemistry demonstrated that lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in proximal tubular epithelial cells increased but succino dehydrogenase (SDH) activity decreased. The NO level in serum, urine and renal cortex were all decreased (p
