Bar graph representation of renal cortical interstitial infiltration by macrophages (a), T-cells (b), and Ang IIα+ cells (c) showed that both male and female NAME rats exhibited a significant increase of renal macrophage and T-cell infiltration. However, NAME females showed statistically less Ang II+ interstitial cells than males subjected to the same treatment ( versus Control ♂, versus Control ♀, versus NAME ♂). The number of animals studied per group was, respectively, Control ♂: ; Control ♀: ; NAME ♂: ; NAME ♀: .
