Figure 8From: Angiotensin type 1a receptor-deficient mice develop diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction, which is prevented by renin-angiotensin system inhibitorsExpression of tissue kallikrein, kininogen, kinin B2 receptor, ACE2, and Mas. mRNA expression of tissue kallikrein (A), kininogen (B), ACE2 (D), and Mas (E) in cardiac myocytes of control, STZ + Veh, STZ + Alsk, STZ + Benz, STZ + Vals, and STZ + Vals + PD after 10 wks of diabetes was measured by real-time RT-PCR and normalized to 18S mRNA. B2 receptor expression was measured by Western blot analysis (C). A representative Western blot image is shown. Values are expressed as the fold change compared to control ± SEM. *P < 0.05 vs. control, #P < 0.05 vs. STZ + Veh.Back to article page
