Expression and activity of ACE and ACE2 in the renal cortex of DS rats. The renal expression of ACE (A) and ACE2 (B) were compared among the Con, HFr, and HFr–Ex groups. Top panels depict representative immunoblots from the different groups. The intensities of each specific protein band were normalized to that of β-actin, and the mean intensities of the values for the Con group. The renal activity of ACE (C) and ACE2 (D)were compared among the Con, HFr, and HFr–Ex groups. Data are presented as means ± SEM for n = 8 rats per group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with the Con group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 compared with the HFr group.
