Corticosterone treatment increases blood pressure in Pomc−/− mice: effect of CORT treatment on the Renin-angiotensin system. Effect of 10 days corticosterone treatment (cort) on (A) systolic blood pressure, (B) renin concentration, (C) plasma angiotensinogen, (D) angiotensinogen (Agt) mRNA in adipose tissue (AT), and (E) angiotensinogen (Agt) mRNA levels in liver in wild-type (+/+) and Pomc−/− (−/−) mice. Epi, epididymal fat; ing, inguinal fat; retro, retroperitoneal fat. Data are means±s.e.m., and for transcript levels are expressed relative to levels in untreated wild-type mice (100%); n=5 per group. Significance *P<0·05, **P<0·01 and ***P<0·001.
