A: Western blotting analyses for A: protein expression of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and B: AT1 receptors in aortic tissues. The expression of ACE and AT1 receptor in aortic tissues were similar between vehicle- and ET-1-infused rats. Furthermore, neither olmesartan nor hydralazine altered vascular ACE and AT1 receptor expression in ET-1-infused rats. To check for equal loading, membranes were re-probed with an antibody against β-actin. All values were normalized by arbitrarily setting the densitometry of vehicle-treated rats to 1.0, as described in the Materials and Methods.
