Figure 3From: Functional annotations of diabetes nephropathy susceptibility loci through analysis of genome-wide renal gene expression in rat models of diabetes mellitus Validation of microarray results by quantitative real time PCR. The expression of 12 selected genes was assessed by QRT-PCR in kidney samples of GK, STZ-WKY and WKY rats previously used for microarray-based transcription profiling. Results are expressed as means ± SE, in percentage of normalized WKY values. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 statistically significantly different to WKY controls.Back to article page
