Levels of salusins. Salusin-α levels increased in the serum (a) and heart (b) of Ang II-infused rats, as well as in the Ang II-treated NRCMs (c) and NRCFs (d). Salusin-β levels raised in the serum (e) and heart (f) of Ang II-infused rats, as well as in the Ang II-treated NRCMs (g) and NRCFs (h). Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. N = 8 in each group. Ang, angiotensin; NRCMs, neonatal rat cardiomyocytes; NRCFs, neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts
