N |
• tamoxifen-treated mice show no increase in food intake compared to controls, indicating that sodium intake is similar among all animals
|
• when 8 week-old mice received 1 mg of tamoxifen for 5 consecutive days, then were put on a standard diet and sacrificed 10 days later, plasma aldosterone levels were elevated compared to controls
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice challenged with a low-sodium diet showed a significant increase in urinary sodium excretion

renal/urinary system
• tamoxifen-treated mice challenged with a low-sodium diet showed a significant increase in urinary sodium excretion
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice on a low-sodium diet show a significant increase in 24 hour urine volume compared to untreated mutants or treated controls; increase is greater than that measured for mutants expressing a constitutive Aqp2-cre transgene
