A Low-Protein Diet Enhances Angiotensin II Production in the Lung of Pregnant Rats but Not Nonpregnant Rats

Figure 7

Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of Ace (a) and Ace2 (b) in the lung of nonpregnant and pregnant rats fed a low-protein diet. CT: control; LP: low protein; NP: nonpregnant rats fed either CT or LP diet for 17 days; P: pregnant rats fed either CT or LP diet for 17 days. The error bar represents the mean ± SEM expressed as relative units of mRNA standardized against R18s ( rats/diet group/day). ; ; .
