Evaluation of Pathological Association between Stroke-Related QTL and Salt-Induced Renal Injury in Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat

Figure 3

Expression of genetic markers for renal damage. (a–d) Gene expression of Col1-1 (a), Tgf- (b), -Sma (c), and Kim-1(d), respectively, in the kidney after 4 weeks of salt-loading (n=5 in each group). Gene expression was represented as relative amount against –actin mRNA. †, ‡: significantly different from SHR (†) and Rp1.0 (‡), respectively, after Bonferroni’s correction. Data are presented as mean ± SD.
