mRNA (A) and protein levels of APJ receptor by Western Blot (B) in whole kidney extracts of db/m and db/db mice. APJ receptor protein (42 kD) was normalized to the mouse β‐tubulin (55 kD) (B). APJ mRNA and protein levels are significantly decreased in db/db mice. The bar graphs represent mean±SEM values; *, P < 0.05 versus db/m mice. Immunohistochemistry (C) of kidney sections from db/m (left) and db/db (right). APJ staining (dark brown) is seen in tubules and to lesser extent in glomeruli. Staining was stronger in db/m as compared to db/db mice.
