Creatinine (mg/dl) 0.2+/−0.0 0.2+/−0.0 0.2+/−0.0 0.2+/−0.0 0.2–0.8
BUN (mg/dl) 28+/−2.2 28+/−3.0 30+/−4.5 32+/−4.5 18–29
AST (U/L) 85+/−22 100+/−64 103+/−81 68+/−17 59–247

Blood was collected in Lithium-Heparin tubes and used to measure classical chemistry parameters. Sodium, Potassium, Creatinine, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) were measured on a clinical chemistry analyzer. Data is reported as the mean +/− standard deviation. A two-tailed t-test was used to compare between genotypes by sex, and no statistically significant differences were found.
