Absolute excretion of sodium (a) and fractional excretion of sodium (b) of normal diet (ND) and high-fat style diet (HFSD) fed rats with and without ovariectomy (OVX). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 12 per group). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 or ****P < 0.001 vs. normal diet fed rats (ND); ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01 or ^####P < 0.001 vs. OVX-ND; ^δδP < 0.01 vs. high-fat style diet fed rats (HFSD). U_NaV: absolute excretion of sodium; FE_Na: fractional excretion of sodium. (A color version of this figure is available in the online journal.)
