Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM for aldosterone-infused and high salt diet-fed uninephrectomized (ALDO) wild-type mice (ALDO WT; n = 5), ALDO wild-type mice with FR167653 (ALDO WT + FR; n = 5), ALDO systemic GC-A KO mice (ALDO KO: n = 5), ALDO systemic GC-A KO mice with FR167653 (ALDO KO + FR; n = 5).
††p < 0.01, ALDO WT vs. ALDO KO.
**p < 0.01, ALDO KO vs. ALDO KO + FR.
