Suppressive effects of E2 on Epo mRNA expression in the kidneys. Rats were exposed to hypoxia (A) or injected with Co (B) for 6 hours demonstrated by ribonuclease protection assay. (A) V indicates vehicle; E, E2 at 1 mg/kg. (B) V indicates vehicle; E, E2 at 100 μg/kg. These are representative data from 3 independent experiments.
