Effect of prenatal dexamethasone on urinary angiotensin II levels. Urinary angiotensin II/Creatinine (Cr) levels were measured in 4- and 8-week-old rats that were exposed to prenatal dexamethasone. Urinary angiotensin II/Cr levels increased over tenfold in both groups between 4- and 8-week-old rats but was higher in the prenatal dexamethasone-treated group at both ages compared to vehicle controls (P < 0.05). The Mann–Whitney U-test was used to assess significance as the data were not normally distributed. Ang II, angiotensin II.
