MCT1 mRNA, whole cell and membrane protein expression in the kidney of female and male rats. [A] Fold-change in MCT1 mRNA expression relative to proestrus females. [B] Whole cell MCT1 protein expression in kidney with expression normalized to GAPDH expression. [C] MCT1 membrane protein expression normalized to Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase expression. Data presented as mean ± SD. (n = 4–5 rats). ^*P < 0.05 as compared to intact males
