(A) MAS1, (B) AGTR1, (C)
IL-1β, (D) IL1R1, and (E) TGF-β1 mRNA
levels were determined by real time RT-PCR and are expressed as fold change Ct
vs. peptidylprolyl isomerase A (Ppia) expression levels. CTB-ACE2,
CTB-Ang-(1–7) or PBS were administered as outlined in Figure 4. Each data point represents one animal.
Values are means ± SEM. #p <0.05 vs. control, *p <0.05 vs.
sham by one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Newman-Keuls test. Ctrl = untreated control;
MCT = monocrotaline.
