Fig. 4From: Impact of gonadectomy on blood pressure regulation in ageing male and female ratsAGTR1 and AGTR2 protein expression. Kidney cortex protein level of AGTR1 (a) and AGTR2 (b) was assessed by Western blotting, and the AT1/AT2 (c) ratio presents a change of these receptors at 6, 12 and 18 months of age in relation to surgery. The AGTR1/AGTR2 ratio was significantly increased at 6 months of age, P < 0.05. Data are presented as mean ± SEM for n = 8 animal per group, *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001Back to article page
