Effect of adiponectin (ApN) overexpression on mRNA expression of cubilin (A), megalin (B), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1; C), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL; D) in renal cortex determined by real-time RT-PCR. mRNA values were normalized by the levels of β-actin mRNA and then expressed relative to the mean value for the wild-type control group. ApN-Tg, ApN transgenic mice. *P < 0.05 vs. wild-type normal mice (WT); #P < 0.05 vs. wild-type mice receiving DOCA+ANG II infusion (WT/DOCA+ANG II).
