Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of Ang II and/or losartan on the protein expression levels of kidney Na + transporters. Protein expression in kidney cortex tissue from sham rats and the rats treated with Ang II and/or losartan. Representative immunoblots showing total Na + /H + exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3), phospho/S552/NHE3, Na + /H + exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) and epithelial Na + channel subunit beta (ENaCβ; A ). For immunoblot analysis, 50 μg samples of protein were resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE. The values are expressed as the mean ± SD ( n = 5–8 per group), and β-actin was used as a loading control. The quantification of bands is represented as total NHE3 (B) , phospho-S552 NHE3 (C) , NHE1 (D) , and ENaC β (E) . Sham (control) group; AII, angiotensin II, Los, losartan; and AII/Los, angiotensin II/losartan. + p < 0.05, ++ p < 0.01, and +++ p < 0.001 for the AII/Los interaction, as indicated by two-way ANOVA. * p < 0.0, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 for AII vs sham or # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, and ### p < 0.001 for AII/Los vs AII, as indicated by multiple comparisons.
