Figure 3

(a) Plasma nitrite concentrations in HS and NS fed Dahl rats (n = 3). (b) Real Time PCR data for α-2A AR, α-2B AR and eNOS mRNA expression. Mesenteric artery tissue was harvested and total RNA isolated from NS and HS rats. The semi-quantitative RT-PCR was carried out using SYBR Green technology in a StepOne RT-PCR system. Values are mean ± SE and expressed as fold change in mRNA expression in HS rats as compared to that in NS rats (n = 4).
