Figure 4.

Effect of different concentrations of dietary sodium on the levels of serum sodium (Na; (a)) and chloride (Cl; (b)). Mice were fed a high- or low-salt diet, or a control diet ad libitum for 10 weeks. Blood samples were collected 1 day after administering the specialized diet. Data are expressed as box-and-whisker plots with individual data points. The boxes represent the inner quartiles value range with the median indicated as black line. The whiskers represent minimum to maximum interval. High-salt diet: HSD, Low salt diet: LSD, Control diet: CTRL.
