Analysis of the expression of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) in renal tissue analyzed by western blot, at 14 days post-surgery. The AT1-R/tubulin index is reported in arbitrary units (A.U.). Significant increase in the expression of ATR-1 in the group with the nephrectomy 5/6 (Nf) vs Sham. There is no change in the group treated with Epi 1 mg/kg of body weight/day as compared with Sham group. Data are presented as mean ± sem. Analysis performed with one-way ANOVA with Post-Hoc test: Tukey. *p < 0.05, NS: not significant.
