Table 1.
Values for weight, proteinuria, creatininuria, creatininemia, creatinine clearance, and fractional excretion (FE) for Na+ and K+ in the experimental groups. Protein and creatinine were measured to assess renal function; the fractional excretion of sodium and potassium (FENa+, FEK+, [%]) was also determined. Data are expressed as mean ± SE. The differences were evaluated by analysis of variance followed by the Tukey post-hoc test. *** p < 0.001 vs. AngII groups (n ≥ 4/all groups).
