Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative semiquantitative immunoblotting of kidney: ( a ) BSC-1, ( b ) Type 3 Na + /H + exchanger (NHE3), ( c ) TSC, ( d ) Na + -K + -ATPase, ( e ) α-ENaC, ( f ) β-ENaC, and ( g ) γ-ENaC. DU, densitometric unit; P, positive control; BSC-1, bumetanide-sensitive cotransporter type 1; TSC, thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter; ENaC, epithelial sodium channel. * p < 0.05, compared to the control group. @ p < 0.05, compared to the SD group. # p < 0.05, compared to the EG group.
