  1. Rats administrated with DOCA-salt or placebo for 2 weeks (DOCA2W or Placebo2W), 3 weeks (DOCA3W or Placebo3W), and 4 weeks (DOCA4W or Placebo4W) were analyzed. Values are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 3 in each group). Statistical significance was expressed as *p < 0.05 relative to the control by using t test
