Figure 4From: Renin angiotensin system and gender differences in dopaminergic degenerationActivity of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in male and female rats. ACE activity in the ventral mesencephalon of males and female rats with estrogen (ovx +E2). ACE activity was significantly higher in male rats. Data were obtained as nmoles of his-leu produced per milligram of protein per minute and the results were then normalized to the values for ovx+E2 females (100%). Data are means ± SEM. *p < 0.05 (Student's t test).Back to article page
