Effect of genotype and treatment on organ weights in male and female animals.
Wildtype and knockout animals were either untreated or treated with aldosterone/NaCl for 28 days. Afterwards the animals were sacrificed and the body weight (a, d), heart weight/tibia length (b, e) and lung weight/tibia length (c, f) were determined with respect to gender. Data are given as mean ± SEM, * p<0.05 compared to respective wildtype, # p<0.05 compared to respective control, N = 9–12 animals/group.
