A. Typical examples illustrate the expression of phosphorylated ERK1/2 (pERK1 and pERK2) and total ERKs (ERK1 and ERK2) proteins in the left ventricle (except septum) and septal wall in response to regular salt (RS), high salt (HS) diet and treatment with irbesartan (HS+Irbesartan) or ramipril (HS+Ramipril). B and C. ERK1/2 phosphorylation levels were calculated as % of total ERK1/2. HS diet for 8 weeks significantly increased the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. The increase in pERK1 was greater in the septum than in the left ventricle excluding the septum. n=6 in each group. * p<0.05 versus RS mice; † p<0.05 versus HS mice and ‡ p<0.05 versus LV wall.
