When mice have the PER1 protein removed specifically from their kidneys, they retain more salt when given a high-salt diet and a hormone treatment, which could affect blood pressure regulation. 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 increased sodium retention 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.”
