Detection and quantification of renin in renal tissue and plasma. Detection of renin expression by immunohistochemistry in the Sham group (A), Sham + A (B), 2K1C (C), and 2K1C + A (D). Arrows indicate positive immunostaining in juxtaglomerular cells. Quantification of renin expression in juxtaglomerular cells of hypertensive and control groups (E). Evaluation of the plasma renin expression in all groups (F). (a) represents ≠ to the SHAM group, (b) represents ≠ to the SHAM + A group, and (c) represents ≠ to the 2K1C + A group. . n = 10 for all experimental groups.
