When mice have the PER1 protein removed from their kidneys, their daily salt excretion rhythm stays normal even with a high-salt diet and hormone treatment. This finding is from the abstract summary - full study details were not available
Scientific Claim
Kidney-specific PER1 knockout in male mice is associated with normal diurnal sodium excretion patterns under high-salt diet and desoxycorticosterone pivalate treatment.
Original Statement
“Male KS-Per1 KO mice have increased Na+ retention but have normal diurnal differences in Na+ excretion in response to HS + DOCP.”
