Table 2. Relative gene expression of natriuretic peptide receptor subtypes in human retina
Relative quantitation by quantitative real time RT-PCR of gene expression of NPR subtypes in the human retina. The NPRs expression in human retina was normalized to β-actin expression levels in the same cDNA samples. For the final analysis, total NPR gene expression was calculated and set at 100%. Subsequently, the relative contributions of each receptor subtype as a fraction of this total were determined by calculating the percentage corresponding to the mean±standard deviation of the retina specimens (Figure 4).
