cardiovascular system
|
• on a normal sodium diet, BP is 12.9 mmHg greater than control; on a high sodium diet, BP is additionally increased (+7 mmHg)
• BP is significantly greater than that observed in Ednra conditional mutants, and the additional increase seen with sodium loading is greater than Ednrb mutants but less than Edn1 conditional mutants
|
|
• on a normal sodium diet, BP is 8.9 mmHg greater than control; on a high sodium diet, BP is additionally increased (+5 mmHg)
|
|
• mice have significantly elevated systolic blood pressure compared to controls as well as Ednra and Ednrb condition knockout mice on a normal sodium diet
• on a high sodium diet, systolic blood pressure increases significantly compared to controls; change in BP between normal and high sodium diets is much greater than in Ednra or Ednrb conditional mutants
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• urinary aldosterone excretion is lower than in controls
• on high sodium diet, urinary endothelin excretion is increased 3-fold over mutants on a normal sodium diet
|
|
• after i.p. administration of 1.5 ml normal saline, urinary sodium excretion is substantially reduced in the first 2 hours after sodium loading; no difference is detected at 6 hours
|
|
• on normal sodium diet, plasma renin activity (PRA) is lower (~4-fold) than in controls
• on high sodium diet, PRA is lower (~3-fold) than in controls
|
renal/urinary system
|
• urinary aldosterone excretion is lower than in controls
• on high sodium diet, urinary endothelin excretion is increased 3-fold over mutants on a normal sodium diet
|
|
• after i.p. administration of 1.5 ml normal saline, urinary sodium excretion is substantially reduced in the first 2 hours after sodium loading; no difference is detected at 6 hours
|
|
• during initial 2 hours after sodium loading, urine output is reduced compared to controls (0.11 ml vs 0.75 ml)
