mRNA expression of components of the cardiac RAS in ABW and LBW lambs

mRNA (MNE)	ABW (n = 12)	LBW (n = 7)
Angiotensinogen	0.02 ± 0.003 (9)	0.02 ± 0.005 (6)
ACE	0.05 ± 0.01 (10)	0.04 ± 0.01
ACE2	0.002 ± 0.0003 (10)	0.005 ± 0.001 (6)*
AT1R	0.07 ± 0.004	0.06 ± 0.01
AT2R	0.07 ± 0.01	0.07 ± 0.01

Values are mean ± SEM (n).

^*Significantly different from ABW lambs (P < 0.05). ABW, average birth weight; LBW, low birth weight; MNE, mean normalized expression.
