RBC cation determinations were performed on control (n = 4) and 7.2-deficient (n = 5) mice. Hematologic measurements were performed on control (n = 8) and 7.2b-deficient (n = 8) mice. Values shown are mean ± standard deviation. The 7.2b-deficient and control mice did not differ in any of the measured parameters (analyzed byt-test).
