Effects of three peptides LY, RALP, and GHS on the mRNA expression of a ACE, b renin, and c ACE2 in myocardium tissue of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) compared with that of WKY rats. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of five independent experiments, normalized to their loading control. ## and ### indicates p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively, as compared to the WKY group. * and ** indicates p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively, as compared to the SHR group
