Analysis of proteinuria, N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG), and body weight. Wistar rats were treated for 7 wk with vehicle, albumin overload (AO), or AO + (pro)renin receptor decoy inhibitor (the first 20 amino acid residues of the prorenin prosegment, L¹PTDTASFGRILLKKMPSVR²⁰) (PRO20). Proteinuria, urinary NAG activity, and body weight were monitored at the indicated time points. A: time courses of proteinuria. B: time courses of urinary NAG activity. C: body weight (BW). Data are means ± SE; n = 6/group. *P < 0.05 vs. control (CTR); #P < 0.05 vs. AO.
