Intake and output data at the end of the study in Wistar-Kyoto rats fed 0.3% or 8% NaCl diet for 8 weeks. The bars are shown as relative amounts of the 8% NaCl group to those of 0.3% NaCl control group. Numbers by the bars are the averages of actual measurements, with the units indicated below the item labels. * P <0.05, ** P <0.01, and *** P <0.001 vs. 0.3% NaCl group of same age, n=15.
