renal/urinary system
| N |
• mutant kidneys are normal in terms of gross appearance, size, color, and glomerular and tubulointerstitial histology
• kidney function, urine albumin excretion, and urine-concentrating ability remain normal
|
|
• mice exhibit increased glycogen content in the renal cortical tubules, as shown by PAS staining and biochemical analysis
• EM revealed increased deposition of glycogen particles closely associated with tubules of smooth endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
• intense glycogen staining is primarily detected in the brush border of the renal tubules
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• mice exhibit increased glycogen accumulation in the renal cortical tubules
