Correlation analysis of (A) hepatic MT protein with hepatic MT-1 mRNA levels; (B), renal MT protein with renal MT-1 mRNA levels; (C) hepatic MT protein with blood MT-1 mRNA levels; and (D) renal MT protein with blood MT-1 mRNA levels. Rats (n = 32) were treated with various MT inducers as detailed in “Materials and Methods”; MT transcript levels were quantified by real-time RT-PCR, and MT protein was determined by the cadmium–hemoglobin assay.
