Mean arterial blood pressure (A) and albumin excretion rate (B) in Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats and SS rats deficient in T and B lymphocytes (SSRag1−/−) infused intravenously with 0.9% saline vehicle in a control period followed by an intravenous infusion of ANG II (5 ng·kg−1·min−1) or vehicle for 12 days. Rats were fed a 0.4% NaCl diet throughout the experiment. Values are means ± SE; n = 3–5/group. #P < 0.05 between groups (by ANOVA); †P < 0.05 vs. day −1, same group; *P < 0.05 vs. SSRag1−/−, same time; &P < 0.05 vs. saline, same strain and time.
