Comparison of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and ACE2 mRNA expression levels in rat renal cortex and medulla tissues. Quantification of mRNA levels was measured by real-time qRT-PCR in CK and NCK kidneys of Goldblatt (n = 11) rats and compared with sham-operated (n = 9) rats. The mRNA levels for the target genes were determined in each sample per triplicate and expressed as a ratio relative to β-actin. Values are means ± SE. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001, ***P < 0.0001 vs. sham kidney.
