129, 129S6/SvEvTac; ANOVA, analysis of variance; B6, C57BL/6J; BC, BALB/cJ; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; cAMP, cyclic adenosine monophosphate; KW/BW, kidney weight/body weight; NA, not available; Pkd1RC/RC mice, mice homozygous for the PKD1 hypomorphic allele p.Arg3277Cys; TKV, total kidney volume.

One-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test compared to 1-month mice within each background:

a

P < 0.05,

b

P < 0.01,

c

P < 0.001. Two-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test indicating significant difference from age-matched B6 mice:

d

P < 0.05,

e

P < 0.01,

f

P < 0.001. Numbers of male (M) and female (F) mice for each analysis are shown. Statistical analysis was performed only on groups that contained n ≥ 3.
