Figure 1

The level of RARα, RARβ, RARγ and LRAT mRNA expression (n=164). (a) The level of RARα mRNA expression (Ratio (RARα/β-actin)) between the hypertension and control groups, P=0.38. (b) The level of RARβ mRNA expression (Ratio (RARβ/β-actin)) between the hypertension and control groups, P=0.98. (c) The level of RARγ mRNA expression (Ratio (RARγ/β-actin)) between the hypertension and control groups, P=0.29. (d) The level of LRAT mRNA expression (Ratio (LRAT /β-actin)) between the hypertension and control groups, P<0.001.
