The kidneys of non-diabetic NOD and wild type ICR mice were examined morphometrically at 3 and 6 months of age. Kidney weights and diameter of renal corpuscles of non-diabetic NOD mice were less than those of ICR mice. No lesions were observed in glomeruli or uriniferous tubules. Renin-positive areas were more common in NOD mice than in ICR mice, but no differences were detected in the Western blot analyses.
