Fig. 6From: Comparing the Bbs10 complete knockout phenotype with a specific renal epithelial knockout one highlights the link between renal defects and systemic inactivation in miceBbs10−/− mice but not Bbs10 fl/fl ; Cadh16-Cre +/− mice display polyuria associated with increased circulating AVP concentrations. a Urinary volume (µL) under 24-h fluid deprivation of Bbs10 +/+ and Bbs10 −/− mice (n = 6 per genotype). b Relative mRNA expression levels of Aqp2, Aqp3 and Avpr2 in Bbs10 +/+ and Bbs10 −/− kidneys.
