Results obtained by immunological staining support the finding in Western blot analysis indicating augmentation of renal cortical AGT protein in Ang II-dependent hypertension (Figure 3B, 0.81 ± 0.31 in the control group vs. 5.82 ± 2.40 in Ang II-infused group, arbitrary density units, n = 6). The gene discussed is AGT; the disease is hypertensive disorder.
