against toxic substances due to its participation in the formation of so-called paired glucuronic acids
in the liver. Due to the high consumption by the population in recent years of foods with high levels
of sugar and sweeteners in them, the risk of developing obesity, the main complication of sugar
consumption, increases. According to a recent UN report, two-thirds of people in Europe and Central
Asia has obese. Overweight and obesity are the fourth leading cause of death after hypertension,
malnutrition, and tobacco use. Obesity is associated with many non-communicable diseases,
including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. It leads to 12 types of cancer [1,5].
Material and methods
The work was carried out on 10 white outbred rats - males weighing 200 - 250 g.
in compliance with the rules of laboratory practice in the Russian Federation (Order of the Ministry
of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation from August 23, 2010 No. 708 "On
approval of the rules of laboratory practice") based on the laboratory of experimental modeling of
pathological processes in KRSU. Animals from standard feed were exchanged for an exceptional
carbohydrate (refined sugar) diet. On the 15th and 30th days of the experiment, the animals under
general anesthesia were taken out of the experiment by decapitation. Pieces of the kidneys were fixed
in 10% neutral formalin solution, and dehydrated in alcohols of increasing concentration, Sections 5-
7 micrometers thick were prepared from paraffin blocks and stained with hematoxylin- eosin and
according to Van Gieson. Finished preparations were studied under an Olympus BX40 light
microscope (Japan). At the same time, recording and microphotography were carried out with a
Levenhuk C130 NG digital camera (PRC) coupled with the microscope optical system and a
computer.
Results and discussion
In the pole and central branches of the renal artery, loosening and swelling of the adventitial
membrane are observed. There is atony, thinning, and vacuole dystrophy of the media. Vacuoles in
the form of oat grains are located radially to the axis of the artery and contain deposits of proteins,
fats, and carbohydrates.
As a result of dystonia and thinning of the vascular wall, the arteries acquire bizarre outlines.
In some cases, the opposite walls fuse, and the arteries become 2-stem, in the lumen of which the
coagulated plasma is contained. The endothelium in the form of a detached strip is projected into
the lumen of the vessel. A characteristic feature is a well-developed longitudinal muscle layer. In the
interlobular arteries, there is coarsening of adventitia collagen fibers, collagenization of the muscle
layer, and endothelial sclerosis.
On some preparations, obliteration of the lobar arteries is noted, around which micro-
hemorrhages and a picture of paranasal edema are observed.
Arc arteries are characterized by loosening of the adventitia, splitting of the internal elastic
membrane, and proliferation of longitudinal muscle fibers. Against this background, there is
collagenization of the musculoelastic cushion and the longitudinal muscle layer, and hypertrophy of
the circular muscle layer.
In the interlobular arteries, there is a thickening and splitting of the basement membrane, and a
decrease in the tone of the vascular wall and its collagenization. As a result, many interlobular arteries
lose their lumen and turn into connective tissue strands. At the level of the interlobular arteries,
microaneurysms, paranasal microbleeds, and connective tissue overgrowth can be observed.
As a result of deep disturbances at the level of the interlobular arteries, it is not possible to
detect the bringing arterioles of the vascular glomerulus of the renal corpuscle. In these cases, diffuse
nodular glomerulosclerosis is noted. In other cases, the phenomena of reticular sclerosis and
dystrophy are observed. Thirdly, cases of hypertrophy of the renal corpuscle, expansion of the
cavity of the Shumlyansky – Bowman capsule, and the lumen of the proximal tubule are noted.
Unlike arterial, changes in the venous bed of the kidney are characterized by extreme
polymorphism. The veins of the kidney capsule belonging to the portal vein system are dilated and
subjected to sclerotic changes in the vascular wall. An exclusive carbohydrate diet causes a
