Fig. 1. Effects of aldosterone on renal striatin and caveolin-1 (cav-1) protein levels. Representative Western blot analysis of renal striatin and cav-1 protein levels in the sham, aldosterone (Aldo), and eplerenone and aldosterone (Ep.+Aldo) groups (n=6/group). Histogram bars show the densitometric ratios of striatin or cav-1 to β-actin intensity. Data are expressed as mean±standard deviation of six independent experiments. ^aP<0.05; ^bP<0.001 vs. sham; ^cP<0.05 vs. Aldo.
