Urine protein/creatinine ratio and 24-h urine protein. A. Ratio of urinary protein to creatinine from urine samples collected during the active cycle of 5 week post-procedure sham mice (SH W5 Active) and inactive cycle of 5 week post-procedure sham mice (SH W5 inactive) and during the active cycle of 5 week post-nephrectomized mice (NX W5 Active) and inactive cycle of 5 week post-nephrectomized mice (NX W5 inactive); B. plot of 24 h urinary protein excretion (in grams) for the sham and nephrectomized mice; C. Amount of protein in mg/dl excreted in the urine during the active and inactive cycles of sham and nephrectomized mice 5 weeks after each surgical procedure. ns represents no significant difference between the groups.
