Phagocytes generate superoxide anion (O-2(-)) by a classic, 5-component NADPH oxidase. O-2(-) contributes to hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that NADPH oxidase expression is enhanced in the SHR kidney. We also analyzed the localization of NADPH oxidase components in SHR kidney. Renal NADPH oxidase was quantified by reverse transcription-polymerise chain reaction and Western blotting and was localized in SHR and Wistar Kyoto rat (WKY) kidney by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA for 5 subunits of phagocyte NADPH oxidase, and also for MOX1 and RENOX (NOX4), was detected in adult rat kidney. Kidneys of adult (10 weeks old) SHR had a significantly (P
