Body weight, serum creatinine levels, and kidney weight in ANG II- and l-NAME-infused rats

	Body Weight, g		Serum Creatinine, mg/dl
	Baseline	Final	Baseline	Final	Right Kidney Weight/Body Weight, g/kg
ANG II	272 ± 5	332 ± 10*	0.25 ± 0.03	0.54 ± 0.04*	4.8 ± 0.1
l-NAME	265 ± 4	294 ± 12*†	0.26 ± 0.03	0.92 ± 0.07*†	4.6 ± 0.1

Values are expressed as means ± SE; n = 19 ANG II (300–500 ng·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) hypertensive rats and 23 N^ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; 50 mg·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) hypertensive rats.

^*P < 0.05, maximum vs. baseline;

^†P < 0.05, maximum vs. ANG II.
