Ratio of Rac1 bound to guanosine triphosphate (Rac1-GTP) to total Rac1 in the heart and kidneys of female CF6-overexpressing TG mice that underwent a sham operation or bilateral ovariectomy with or without estrogen replacement therapy; n=6 for female ovariectomized TG mice with a placebo (ovariectomy+placebo), n=5 for female ovariectomized TG mice with estrogen replacement (ovariectomy+estrogen) and n=5 for female sham-operated TG mice (sham operation). (a) Representative western blots of total Rac1 and Rac1-GTP in the kidneys. (b) Ratio of Rac1-GTP to total Rac1 in the kidneys. (c) Representative western blots of total Rac1 and Rac 1-GTP in the heart. (d) Ratio of Rac1-GTP to total Rac1 in the heart.
