Renal tubule cell-specific Npr1 mutation in mice leads to arterial hypertension and abnormal renal hemodynamics, with greater severity and salt sensitivity in males compared to females.
Does renal tubule cell-specific Npr1 deletion increase blood pressure and kidney dysfunction in mice?
Renal tubule cell-specific Npr1 deletion leads to arterial hypertension and abnormal renal hemodynamics, with more pronounced effects in male mice.
BACKGROUND: (encoding NPRA) on blood pressure and renal hemodynamics. METHODS: mRNA or protein. RESULTS: in RT segments significantly increased systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure in a sex-specific manner. Mutant male mice showed higher total urinary protein and albumin-creatinine ratios than female mice. On a high-salt diet, male knockout and HT mice showed greater salt sensitivity than female mice. CONCLUSIONS: along the nephron tubules leads to arterial hypertension and abnormal renal functional hemodynamic changes that are more pronounced in male mice compared with female mice.
Neelamegam et al. (Thu,) conducted a other in Arterial hypertension and kidney dysfunction. Renal tubule cell-specific Npr1 mutation/knockout vs. Wild-type or female mice was evaluated on Blood pressure and renal hemodynamics. Renal tubule cell-specific Npr1 mutation in mice leads to arterial hypertension and abnormal renal hemodynamics, with greater severity and salt sensitivity in males compared to females.
