Figure 2. Renal water and sodium handling during rUII and URP infusion.

Figure 2

Effect of exogenous rUII (6 pmol. min-1. 100 g bwt-1, solid bars, n = 7 per strain), URP (6 pmol. min-1. 100 g bwt-1, hatched bars, n = 5 per strain) or vehicle (0.154 mol/L NaCl, open bars, n = 6 per strain) infusion on urine flow rate (A-B), sodium excretion rate (C-D) and fractional sodium excretion (E-F) in anaesthetised 4-5 week-old WKY rats (left column) and pre-hypertensive SHRs (right column). Data shown are mean ± SEM for the baseline control period and the final 15 mins of the treatment period when effects were maximal. * P < 0.05 compared with vehicle-treated rats, Dunnett’s test.
