Sexual dimorphism in renal MRs, GRs, Hsd11b2 and several MR-regulated target gene expressions in adult (M3) mice in another independent series of 12 animals (6 males and 6 females) of a different strain (C57B6/129S). GRs (A); Sgk1 (B); Gilz (C); and Hsd11b2 (D) renal relative mRNA expressions in adult mice (M3: 3 months of age) were determined using RT-qPCR. Results, expressed as the ratio of attomoles of specific gene per femtomole of ribosomal 18S, normalized to the expression of male mice and arbitrarily set at 1, correspond to mean ± SEM of two independent reverse-transcriptions comprising at least 6 male and 6 female kidneys each. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001.
