renal/urinary system
N |
• at 9-10 weeks of age, kidney weight, cortical tubule diameter, and Bowman's space diameter remain normal
|
• renal blood flow is significantly reduced
|
• total renal vascular resistance is significantly increased
|
• fractional excretion of sodium is significantly reduced
|
• urinary osmolality is significantly increased
|
albuminuria
(
J:162698
)
• urinary albumin excretion is significantly elevated
|
• 6.7-fold increase
|
• Bowman's capsule diameter is significantly reduced
• however, Bowman's space diameter remains normal
|
• glomerulus tuft diameter is significantly reduced
• however, no glomerular hypertrophy is observed
|
• increased expression of collagen IV and fibronectin in the mesangium
• however, normal expression of collagen types I and III in the mesangium
|
• increased expression of collagen III, collagen IV, and fibronectin in the renal interstitium (cortex and medulla)
• however, normal expression of collagen I in both cortex and medulla
|
• creatinine clearance is significantly increased
|
• GFR is significantly elevated (1.8-fold), as measured by creatinine and inulin clearances
|
• 24-h urine flow is significantly reduced
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• Background Sensitivity: no differences in blood glucose levels are observed on a C57BL/6 background
