Heart and kidney weights in different groups of male WT and TRPC6 KO mice at 8 wk after AC or sham surgery
| WT-DM | WT-AC | WT-DM + AC | TRPC6 KO-DM | TRPC6 KO-AC | TRPC6 KO-DM + AC | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heart weight, g | 0.13 ± 0.01 | 0.16 ± 0.01† | 0.17 ± 0.02† | 0.15 ± 0.01 | 0.19 ± 0.02† | 0.18 ± 0.01† |
| Left kidney weight, g | 0.19 ± 0.02 | 0.18 ± 0.01 | 0.19 ± 0.01 | 0.19 ± 0.01 | 0.16 ± 0.02 | 0.20 ± 0.01 |
| Right kidney weight, g | 0.21 ± 0.02 | 0.22 ± 0.01* | 0.23 ± 0.02* | 0.20 ± 0.01 | 0.20 ± 0.01* | 0.23 ± 0.01* |
Values are means ± SE; n = 6–9. AC, aortic constriction; DM, diabetes mellitus; KO, knockout; TRPC6, transient receptor potential cation channel 6; WT, wild-type. *P < 0.05 when comparing left and right kidney weights in the same group of WT or TRPC6 KO mice by t test. †P < 0.05 when comparing heart weight in AC and DM + AC with DM mice in WT and TRPC6 KO mice by one-way ANOVA.
