Figure 8. Effect of periostin expression on blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in pcy/pcy mice.

Figure 8

At 20 weeks, pcy/pcy: Postn+/+ mice had a BUN of 48.7 ± 7.2 mg/dl with five of the six mice with values above 33 mg/dl. The normal range for BUN in healthy adult mice is 8 to 33 mg/dl. By contrast, the mean BUN for pcy/pcy: Postn−/− mice was 31.3 ± 5.7 mg/dl (P < 0.05), consistent with improved renal function. Data are means ± SE. Statistical analysis was determined by unpaired t-test.
