(A–F) Mean mRNA expression levels of Tas1r2, Tas1r3, Plcb2, Sglt1, Glut5, and Shh in the CV. Symbols represent individual male and female rats. (G) Mean proportion of CV cells expressing the PLCβ2 protein per bud. Symbols represent individual male rats. (H) Representative images showing PLCβ2 staining in green in the CV of an Ace-K-exposed versus control rat. Scale bar = 20 µm. # P ≤ 0.05, one tailed, * P ≤ 0.05, ***P ≤ 0.005. Statistical outcomes are presented in Table S4.
