Animals were evaluated using Ciba-Corning calcium analyzer and PIXImus II mouse densitometer (DXA).

Procedures conducted:
• body weight 
• bottle choice test  Various salt solutions (several concentrations) vs. water.
• DXA  Body mass, fat mass, lean mass, bone mineral density and content.
• metabolic panel  Ionized and total blood calcium, blood pH.
• monitoring system  Bleeding time to collect approx 30 µL.
