renal/urinary system
N |
• no renal alterations are histologically apparent relative to littermate controls at 4 months of age
|
• urine sodium/creatinine and chloride/creatinine ratios tend to be decreased in 24-hour urine and spot urine samples of phenotypic mutants
|
small kidney
(
J:121470
)
• phenotypic mutants (ie. mice with pathological plasma urea levels) at 4 months show decreased kidney weight and kidney-to-body weight ratio relative to controls
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increased levels are seen in phenotypic mutants
|
• mice have pathological plasma urea levels with 70% penetrance (phenotypic mutants) when analyzed at 3 months (2 measurements >70 mg/dl within 3-week period) compared to controls
|
• reduced plasma glucose is observed in phenotypic mutants
|
• urine sodium/creatinine and chloride/creatinine ratios tend to be decreased in 24-hour urine and spot urine samples of phenotypic mutants
