Altered AT1R mRNA expression levels.

Notes: Significant increases in the AT1R mRNA expression were observed 2 weeks after the first operation in the RK group. Although AT1R mRNA expression level in the RK-ARB group was higher than that in the Sham group at 4 weeks, the expression was suppressed in the RK-ARB group at 8 weeks, and no significant difference was found between the sham and RK-ARB groups at 8 weeks. *P<0.05 versus the sham group. P<0.05 versus the RK-ARB group.

Abbreviations: AT1R, angiotensin II type 1 receptor; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; RK, rat-remnant kidney; ARB, angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker; sham, sham-operated group.
