“…Results: 1) Both male and female mice displayed significantly increased BP on LS and HS with increasing number of mutated alleles. 2) Only Mut females displayed SSBP (P<0.05). 3) As compared to WT, urine and plasma ALDO levels were lower in male (but not female) carriers of the mutated allele (P<0.05). 4) As anticipated, urine K(+) excretion was significantly lower in the Mut male (but not female) mice (P<0.05). 5) Doppler ultrasound measurements of renovascular function shows that the resistive index was significantly lower in Mut vs WT males (P<0.05), consistent with an appropriate increase in renal blood flow (RBF) in the face of an elevated BP. …”
