Figure Lengend Snippet: Circulating aldosterone (A), PRA (B), aldosterone to PRA ratio (C), corticosterone (E), and aldosterone to corticosterone ratio (F) in WT and CAV-1 KO maintained on ad lib vs. CR diet. Aldosterone release in response to 10−8 M Ang II, 8.7 mM K+ and 10−10 M ACTH (D) was measured in Zona Glomerulosa cells acutely isolated from mice in the four experimental groups. *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.005 vs. WT on the same diet; # p < 0.05 vs. the same genotype on ad lib diet.
