TABLE 1.

Nucleotide sequences of the different primers applied for the detection of renin, collagen I and GAPDH by real-time RT-PCR

Gene	Primer pairs	Product length, bp
Renin	forward: 5′-TGC CCA CCC TCC CCG ACA TT-3′	167
	reverse: 5′-GGC ACC CAG GAC CCA GAC AGG-3′
Collagen I	forward: 5′-CTG CCC CGG CGC CGA AGT C-3′	96
