Select blood parameters after various durations of water deprivation

Duration (h)	BUN (mg/dL)	WBC count (x10³/μL)	Platelet count (x10³/ μL)	Corticosterone (ng/mL plasma)
0	26.3 ± 0.5^a	4.5 ± 0.3^a	1426 ± 35^a	145 ± 19^a
12	24.6 ± 0.5^a	4.0 ± 0.2^ab	1423 ± 53^a	236 ± 26^b
24	25.8 ± 0.4^a	3.5 ± 0.2^bc	1613 ± 50^b	311 ± 27^b
48	31.3 ± 0.5^b	3.2 ± 0.2^c	1855 ± 56^c	466 ± 41^c

Data are expressed as mean ± SE for control and water-deprived mice (n = 38 to 51). Within columns, values marked with different letters differ significantly (P < 0.05); values marked with the same letter are not significantly different.
