Central diabetes insipidus associated with impaired renal aquaporin-1 expression in mice lacking the oxysterol receptor liver X receptor β

Gabbi C. , Gustafsson J.

We have previously shown that in pancreatic ductal epithelial cells, the expression of the water channel aquaporin-1 is under the control of the oxysterol receptor liver X receptor β. The aim of the present study was to investigate water balance in mice lacking each LXR isoform.Given free access to water, LXRβ−/− mice demonstrated an abnormal daily excretion of highly diluted urine, polyuria, with increased water intake compared to ...
