A mouse model for Liddle's syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Liddle's syndrome (or pseudoaldosteronism) is an autosomal dominant form of salt-sensitive hypertension, due to abnormal sodium transport by the renal tubule. To study the pathophysiology of salt sensitivity, a mouse model for Liddle's syndrome has been generated by Cre/loxP-mediated recombination. Under normal salt diet, mice heterozygous (L/+) and homozygous (L/L) for Liddle mutation (L) develop normally during...
