CD36 protein was detectable in the thick ascending limb of loop of Henle and in the collecting duct, and absent in proximal tubules in both control and diabetic mouse kidneys (Figure 1A–1D).
It is also worth considering that the elongated shape of the lateral forming cells becomes much more extreme as development proceeds (Fig 4) [ 8 ] . This brings the laterals close to the cell edges that are parallel to the proximal distal axis of the central core and the junctional complexes at these edges could provide orientation guidance.
Conversely, probe RP11-736I24 hybridized to HSA and PTR XVq, indicating the pericentric inversion breakpoint likely lies proximal of this position in the human assembly.

Based on these findings, we propose a new two-step metabolic hit model for TED in the progression of DNP.
