  1. Summary of urinary data obtained from WT and Nrf2 KO mice fed a normal diet (control) or a HCl-containing standard diet for 2 and 7 days (acid). Data represent mean ± S.D. of n = 6 animals per group. Statistical analysis was performed with a one-way analysis of variance (with Tukey’s post test); *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; ***P ≤ 0.001 for differences between genotypes for the same treatment and #P ≤ 0.05; ##P ≤ 0.01; ###P ≤ 0.001 for differences between untreated and treated mice for the same genotype.
