Figure 9. KCl and KHCO₃ regulate pendrin expression.

Pendrin mRNA and protein abundance in kidney cortex from mice treated with KCl or KHCO₃ for 7 days were examined by real-time RT-PCR (A) and immunoblotting (B). All membranes were stripped and reprobed for β-actin. (C) Bar graphs summarizing data from immunoblotting. All data were normalized against β-actin. Data are given as normalized mean ± SE; n = 5–7 animals/group. *p≤0.05, **p≤0.01, ***p≤0.001.
