Fig 6. Doenjang changes renal mRNA levels related to RAS in HD-induced obese rats.
(A) mRNA levels of RAS-related genes in the kidney. (B) Aldosterone releasing factors-related mRNA levels in the kidney. (C) The levels of Mr and Renalase mRNA in the kidney. Values are given as mean ± SEM (n = 6). Values with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05) by ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test (a > b). Values with Asterisk present significant differences between the groups by unpaired t-test (*p < 0.05 and **p<0.01). ND; normal diet, HD; high-fat diet, HDS; high-fat diet with salt, and HDJ; high-fat diet with doenjang.
