Figure 8
IHC staining of ACE (a) and (b) and ACE2 (c) and (d) genes. (a) and (c) IHC images of ACE and ACE2 in the kidneys of 3 subgroups of WT and AT2RKO male mice (magnification 200X). (b) and (d) Semiquantification of IHC expression in the kidneys of 3 subgroups (control (black bar), diabetic (red bar), and insulin-treated diabetic (blue bar)) of WT and AT2RKO male mice. The y-axis shows the percentage of relative staining values compared to WT controls (100%). *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; ***P ≤ 0.001.
