The percent of body weight change (DBW, %) and the relative weight (%BW) of the left kidney (LK), right kidney (RK), heart, and liver of 2-kidney-1-clip (2K1C) and sham-operative (SO) groups.

Induction phase	SO		2K1C
DBW (%)	98.83 ± 2.91		89.30 ± 4.38		ns
Treatment phase	SO	SO + GD	2K1C	2K1C + GD
DBW (%)	22.36 ± 1.18	26.44 ± 1.42	23.99 ± 2.50	28.32 ± 2.45	ns
LK, %BW	0.28 ± 0.01	0.28 ± 0.01	0.25 ± 0.01	0.23 ± 0.01	<0.05
RK, %BW	0.28 ± 0.01	0.29 ± 0.01	0.31 ± 0.01	0.34 ± 0.02	<0.05
Liver, %BW	3.22 ± 0.10	3.24 ± 0.07	3.15 ± 0.10	3.12 ± 0.05	ns

DBW, % = [(final BW – basal BW) ÷ basal BW] × 100. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. compared with SO control. ns, nonsignificant.
