From: Tissue-specific regulation of potassium homeostasis by high doses of cationic amino acids
mRNA expression levels of cationic amino acid transporters (CAT1, CAT2A and CAT2B) in liver (a) and pancreas (b) of control and treated mice. l-Ornithine HCl (4 g/kg) was given intraperitoneally (two injections, 1 h apart) and tissues were excised 2 h after the last injection, and RNA was extracted and analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. Results are given as relative expression to beta-actin. Statistical significance: (*) P < 0.05 versus control of three animals per group
