Folic Acid Mitigates Angiotensin-II-Induced Blood Pressure and Renal Remodeling
Figure 7
FA normalized altered expression of angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors in Ang II hypertension.
Western blot was performed to measure VEGF, angiostatin and endostatin expression using specific antibodies in the renal cortical tissue extracted protein. Statistical analyses were performed with Kruskal-Wallis test and individual pairs were compared using Mann-Whitney Rank sum test. Bar diagrams represent fold change from n = 5–6 mice/group. * p<0.05 vs. vehicle and † p<0.05 vs. Ang II, ‡ p<0.05 vs. vehicle.
