Figure 4. Absence of the 669WTAPELL675 motif in ANF-RGC causes cardiac hypertrophy.
The ratio of the heart weight (in mg) to whole body weight (in g) of 10 weeks old 669WTAPELL675(+/+) wild type, 669WTAPELL675(+/−) heterozygous and 669WTAPELL675(−/−) homozygous was determined. The mice were fed a normal-salt diet. Bars indicate means ± SD values for the representative genotype. n describes the number of mice analyzed for each genotype. * indicates P <0.05.
