Fig. 9

Changes in organ weights from the compensation phase [one week after aorto-caval fistula (ACF) creation, data taken from reference #36], via transition phase (two weeks after ACF creation, data taken from the current study) to the decompensation phase (three weeks after ACF creation, data taken from reference #37). Changes are expressed as percent increases in hypertensive Ren-2 transgenic (TGR) rats with ACF compared to sham-operated TGR at the same time. Changes in lung weight A, whole heart weight B, left ventricle weight C, and right ventricle weight D. * P < 0.05 compared with ACF TGR one week after ACF induction. @ P < 0.05 compared with ACF TGR one week as well as two weeks after ACF induction. The values are means ± SEM
