Abstract excerpt
Familial neurohypophysial diabetes insipidus (FNDI), characterized by delayed-onset progressive polyuria and loss of arginine vasopressin (AVP) neuron, is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by AVP gene mutations. We previously generated a knock-in mouse model for FNDI, which recapitulated the phenotype of human FNDI. To address the mechanisms underlying AVP neuron loss, we subjected FNDI mice to intermittent...
