Abstract: In order to investigate the effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum polysaccharide (GPP) on the renal tissue structure of aging mice induced by D-galactose (D-gal), paraffin section and HE staining were used to observe and analyze the glomerular diameter and renal capsule width in kidney. The results showed that in D-gal group, the glomeruli were significantly atrophied, the diameter of glomeruli became smaller, the lumen of renal tubules around the renal corpuscle was obvious, and the boundary of epithelial cells on the wall was unclear. GPP groups could significantly improve the structure of kidney damage, glomerular morphology tends to normal, the structure of renal tubules around the recovery. Statistical analysis showed that the glomerular diameter of GPP groups was significantly higher than that of D-gal group (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in glomerular diameter among the GPP groups. Compared with D-gal group, the width of renal capsule in 50 mg/(kg·d) group and 100 mg/(kg·d) group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). It turned out that GPP could recover the kidney injury induced by D-gal, and the structural morphology tended to be normal; the diameter of glomerulus and the width of renal capsule could be improved, which indicated that GPP had a certain protective effect on the renal tissue structure of aging mice induced by D-gal.
