Figure 1.

Figure 1

shows R2* maps of rat kidneys in one representative animal from each of the groups A and B. The top row illustrates images from group A (water-load): (a) anatomical, (b) baseline R2* map, (c) R2* map obtained during water loading. The bottom row similarly shows images from group B: (d) anatomical, (e) baseline R2* map, R2* maps obtained (f) post L-NAME, and (g) during water loading. All the maps were scaled from zero (red) to 75 (blue) representing a range of hemoglobin oxygen saturation levels. M indicates outer medulla and C represents the cortex.
