Selected urinary parameters and serum oxalate in DRA KO mice and their WT littermates
| WT | KO | |
|---|---|---|
| Urine volume, ml/24 h | 0.80 ± 0.12 | 0.68 ± 0.10 |
| Urine pH | 6.11 ± 0.01 | 5.29 ± 0.09* |
| Urinary oxalate excretion, μmol/24 h | 1.64 ± 0.16 | 0.50 ± 0.06* |
| Urinary Ca2+ excretion, μmol/24 h | 1.42 ± 0.19 | 1.71 ± 0.26 |
| Urinary creatinine excretion, μmol/24 h | 5.75 ± 0.44 | 6.06 ± 0.51 |
| Serum oxalate, μmol/l | 11.61 ± 2.30 | 4.65 ± 1.76* |
Values are means ± SE of duplicate measurements of 12–20 urine pools in each group with 2 mice per pool. Serum oxalate was measured in 11 wild-type (WT) and 8 DRA (downregulated in adenoma) knockout (KO) pools with 2–5 mice per pool.
Significantly different from WT (P ≤ 0.05).
