Effect of intravenous administration of the Tat fusion proteins on expression of p-Akt(T308) and p-Akt(S473) relative to Akt in aortic and glomerular preparations. Total Akt levels did not differ among tissues obtained from the eight groups of rats (n = 4 rats in each group) on the two NaCl diets. Compared to rats that received vehicle (Veh), administration of Tat-AP and Tat-PBM, but not Tat-GBM, reduced (P < 0.05) levels of p-Akt(T308) and p-Akt(S473) in lysates from aortic tissue and isolated glomeruli from rats on the 8.0% NaCl diet to levels that did not differ from the groups of rats that received the 0.3% NaCl diet. Each lane in the gel represents a single animal; a total of 4 rats in each group were examined. *P < 0.05 compared to the other 6 groups
