Fig. 4. Effects of high fructose intake on the expression of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) genes in the lungs and liver. RAS-related gene expression was quantified by RT-qPCR. High fructose intake increased the expression of angiotensinogen (Agt) in the liver (A) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (Ace) in the lungs (B). The graphs show the mean ± standard error of three independent experiments (*p = 0.05, **p = 0.01, control vs. fructose).
