eGFP fluorescence intensity in the PVN (A-a; pPVN, -b; mPVN), and SCN (C) at 3, 12, and 20 h after bilateral nephrectomy (Nx) or sham operation (Sham). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (each group at each time point, n = 6). ^†P < 0.05, ^††P < 0.01 compared with the untreated group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with the sham-operated group
