mortality/aging
N |
• mutants appear to have normal lifespans, unlike Aqp2 null mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice produce very dilute urine; concentration is approximately 161 mOsm compared to about 1,293 mOsm in wild-type
|
behavior/neurological
polydipsia
(
J:105809
)
• water consumption is dramatically higher than in heterozygotes or wild-type
|
renal/urinary system
• mice produce very dilute urine; concentration is approximately 161 mOsm compared to about 1,293 mOsm in wild-type
|
• mice exhibit severe hydronephrosis that is detectable at 4 weeks of age and worsens with age
• ureter morphology is normal despite dilation of the renal pelvis
|
• treatment with 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin produces a proportionally smaller increase in urine osmolarity compared to wild-type
|
• mice have dramatically increased urine output, producing more than their body weight in urine in 24 hours
