homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• mice were analyzed in a mixed background lacking the Ren2 gene
• mice exhibit normal intrarenal Ang I homeostasis
|
• the ratio of angiotensin II (Ang II) to angiotensin I (Ang I) is lower than in wild-type mice
• chronic angiotensin I infusion increases the ratio of Ang II to Ang I unlike in wild-type mice
|
• in untreated and angiotensin I-treated mice
|
• water-deprived mice fail to exhibit an increase in urine osmolality unlike wild-type mice
|
• in the plasma and lungs, but not kidneys
|
renal/urinary system
• thickened intrarenal arteries
|
• water-deprived mice fail to exhibit an increase in urine osmolality unlike wild-type mice
|
• perivascular infiltrates
|
• thinned
|
• variable degrees of pelvis expansion
|
behavior/neurological
cardiovascular system
• thickened intrarenal arteries
|
• angiotensin I-infused mice exhibit a slow hypertensive response compared with wild-type mice
|
• in untreated and angiotensin I-treated mice
|
