Expressions of t-AMPK and p-AMPK in the renal cortex of right kidneys by western blot. Fresh renal cortex samples were obtained from sham, uninephrectomised (UNX), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) rats at 9 months after uninephrectomy. Proteins were subjected to immunoblot for p-AMPK and t-AMPK. Expressions of t-APMK in the four groups were nearly the same, but p-AMPK of uninephrectomised rats was significantly decreased compared with those of the other three groups (a). Histogram showed that the ratio of p-AMPK to t-AMPK in the uninephrectomised group also decreased and treatment with ACEI or ARB corrected the ratio higher than that of sham rats (b). Data are mean±SD. P<0.001, uninephrectomised rats versus sham rats; #P<0.001, uninephrectomised rats versus ACEI rats; §P<0.001, uninephrectomised rats versus ARB rats.
