TABLE 2.

Plasma osmolality, haematocrit and arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentration in euhydrated rats injected with the control vector (Eu scrambled [SCR]), euhydrated rats injected with shRNA against brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (Eu shBDNF), salt loaded rats injected with control vector (Salt SCR) and salt loaded rats injected with shRNA against BDNF (Salt shBDNF) groups

Osmolality (mOsm kg⁻¹)	301.3 ± 1.45 (14)	299.8 ± 1.05 (13)	313.3 ± 1.75 (13)^*	305.1 ±0.68
				(11)^**
Haematocrit (%)	42.6 ± 0.53 (14)	41.8 ± 0.64 (13)	47.8 ± 0.74 (13)^*	44.4 ± 0.60
				(11)^**
Plasma AVP (pg ml⁻¹)	15.7 ±4.01 (6)	9.3 ± 0.81 (6)	59.9 ± 8.37 (5)^*	16.2 ±1.30
				(5)^**

Values are the mean ± SEM; n, number of rats in each group (in parenthesis).

P < 0.05 vs Control groups.
