Effects of bilateral nephrectomy (Nx) or sham operation (Sham) on the gene expression of the eGFP (A), AVP (B), and CRH (C) in the pPVN (A–C-a), mPVN (A, B-b), SON (A, B-c), and SCN (A, B-d) in the AVP-eGFP transgenic rats. 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
