homeostasis/metabolism
• when fed a high salt diet, mice exhibit lower plasma renin levels compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• following administration of saline intravenously, mice exhibit lower renin plasma levels compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• at tubular perfusion rates of 6 or 15 nl/min, chloride ion concentration in the distal tubule is elevated compared to in wild-type mice
• at a low perfusion rate, absolute and fraction chloride ion absorption is higher compared to in wild-type mice
|
• ambient urine osmolarity is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• however, urine osmolarity responds normally to water deprivation
|
renal/urinary system
• ambient urine osmolarity is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• however, urine osmolarity responds normally to water deprivation
|
• at a low perfusion rate, absolute and fraction chloride ion absorption and water absorption are higher compared to in wild-type mice
• tubuloglomerular feedback curve is right-shifted compared to in wild-type mice
• however, the maximum tubuloglomerular feedback is normal
