Urine samples were collected from mice individually housed in metabolic cages. Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (mg/mmol) (Albuwell and Creatinine Companion, Exocell Inc., Philadelphia, PA, USA) was determined biweekly post-ADR injection by ELISA and normalized by urinary creatinine levels as described [10 (link), 34 (link)]. Urinary albumin level was also estimated by Coomassie Blue gel staining of electrophoresed urine samples as reported.[10 (link), 34 (link)] Urinary Ang II /creatinine ratio (pmol/μmol) (Immuno-Biological Laboratories, IBL America, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was assayed by ELISA and normalized by urinary creatinine levels as described.[34 (link), 35 (link)]
