The mRNA expressions of anti-oxidative stress molecules and mitochondria number in the kidney.

<p>The mRNA expressions of UCP2 (A), catalase (B), NADPH oxidases, NOX1 (C), NOX4 (D), p22phox (E) and PGC1α (F) in saline-infused mice (NS), AngII-infused mice (AngII), and AngII-infused mice treated with Ghrelin were examined by real-time PCR. (G) The mitochondria number was assessed as real-time PCR for mitochondria-specific molecule, COX1 as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0094373#s4" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a>. **p<0.01 vs. NS, *p<0.05 vs. NS, ##p<0.01 vs. AngII, #p<0.05 vs. AngII, n = 8.
