Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in the MF1 mouse kidney. (A) Quantitation of ACE2 protein expression from Western blots (upper) of male and female mouse renal homogenates; *P < 0.05 versus female; n = 7/group. (B) Quantitation of renal ACE2 mRNA expression determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction in male (n = 5) and female (n = 7) mouse kidney; *P < 0.05 versus female.
