Table 1. Serum sodium, lithium, and potassium levels and sodium and water intake and plasma osmolality in maternal normal protein intake (NP) offspring and maternal low-protein intake (LP) offspring compared with bilateral renal denervated NP (NPDNx) and LP (LPDNx) rats (n = 10 animals for each group).
The data represent the means ± SEM. The level of significance was set at *P ≤ 0.05 (one-way ANOVA or Student’s t-test).
