---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
HS | 0.27±0.02 (n=12) | 139.3±1.2 (n=24) | 4.5±0.1 (n=24) | 72.3±7.6 (n=19) | 278.4±23.2 (n=19) | 31.0±4.2 (n=7) |
LS | 0.26±0.02 (n=12) | 137.4±0.9 (n=22) | 4.5±0.1 (n=22) | 0.1±0.04*(n=23) | 248.5±17.4 (n=23) | 113.8±13.9*(n=14) |
Values are means ± SE for n animals studied. HS, high Na+; LS, low Na+.
P < 0.05 vs. HS diet.
