Hematocrit and EPO concentration in WT and Tg-Kl mice

	WT	Tg-Kl	T test
HCT (%)	46.3±3.7 (9)	46.5±3.2 (12)	>0.005
Plasma EPO (pg/ml)	121.7±16.7 (6)	131.1±33.0 (5)	>0.05
Kidney EPO transcript (2-ΔΔCt)	1.0±0.1 (4)	1.2±0.2 (5)	>0.05

HCT: Hematocrit; EPO: erythropoietin; Relative EPO transcript was analyzed by normalizing cyclophilin followed by comparing with WT mice. Data are shown Means ± SD. Statistical differences were analyzed by unpaired Student-t test, and statistical significance accepted when p<0.05 between WTand Tg-Kl groups.
