Fig 6. mRNA expression of SGK1 in HRMC in normal and high glucose conditions upon aldosterone and cortisol stimulation.
A) mRNA expression of SKG1 in HRMC. Normal glucose conditions (5.25mM). Baseline control was EtOH. Fold difference is shown with cyclophilin A as endogenous control. Aldosterone (**p = 0.0026) and cortisol (**p = 0.0002) significantly stimulated SGK1 expression in HRMC on a normal glucose background. B) mRNA expression of SGK1 in HRMC. High glucose conditions (25.25mM). Baseline control was EtOH. Fold difference is shown with cyclophilin A as endogenous control. Aldosterone (**p = 0.0018) and cortisol (***p<0.0001) significantly stimulated SGK1 expression in HRMC on a high glucose background. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.0001, ns = not significant.
