Effects of MMP2 KO on renal hypertrophy and hemodynamics. A, Kidney weight in SS rats fed either a LS or a HS diet and MMP2 KO rats on a HS diet for 3 weeks. B, RBF was measured by using an ultrasonic flow probe in SS rats fed either a LS or a HS diet and in MMP2 KO rats fed a HS diet for 3 weeks. C, GFR, measured by the clearance of FITC-inulin, was measured in SS rats fed either a LS or a HS diet and in MMP2 KO rats fed a HS diet for 3 weeks. D, Plasma creatinine concentrations in SS rats fed either a LS or HS diet and in MMP2 KO rats fed a HS diet for 3 weeks. Mean values ± SEM are presented. * indicates P < 0.05 versus the corresponding value measured in SS-LS rats.
