UNX | DOCA-Salt | UNX + TMS | DOCA-Salt + TMS | |
---|---|---|---|---|
BW, g | 494.0 ± 15.1 | 375.0 ± 15.9* | 496.4 ± 14.7 | 455.8 ± 16.1† |
HW, mg | 1,484.0 ± 24.6 | 2,032.0 ± 81.3* | 1,426.0 ± 29.8 | 1,687.0 ± 27.0† |
HW/BW, mg/g | 3.0 ± 0.1 | 4.4 ± 0.2* | 2.9 ± 0.2 | 3.6 ± 0.2† |
BNP:β-tubulin mRNA, ΔΔCt | 1.0 | 6.5 ± 1.0* | 0.6 ± 0.1 | 1.4 ± 0.2† |
Data are means ± SE (n = 5). BNP data are displayed following normalization to uninephrectomized (UNX) control rat values. DOCA, deoxycorticosterone acetate; TMS, 2,3′,4,5′-tetramethoxystilbene; BW, body weight; HW, heart weight.
P < 0.05, UNX vs. DOCA-salt.
P < 0.05, DOCA-salt vs. DOCA-salt + TMS.
