Figure 1From: Effects of oxonic acid-induced hyperuricemia on mesenteric artery tone and cardiac load in experimental renal insufficiencyEvaluation of cardiac load. Right ventricular atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) (A) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) (B); and left ventricular ANP (C), BNP (D), skeletal α-actin (SkαA) (E), and β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC) (F) mRNAs in the experimental groups; values are mean±SEM, n = 11 for all groups; *P < 0.05, two-way ANOVA compared with the Sham groups. NX=5/6 nephrectomized rat, Sham=sham-operated rat, Oxo=2.0% oxonic acid diet.Back to article page
