Biochemicl nlysis: Cretinine nd ure concentrtions were mesured in urine smples from the totl urine volume collected over 24-hour period. Alumin, cretinine nd ure concentrtions were mesured in plsm smples. Colorimetric ssys were performed y commercil kits (Bioclin; Quis Químic Básic Ltd., Belo Horizonte, Brzil). Alumin determintion ws sed on the romocresol green method. Cretinine ws mesured y the modified Jffe method (17) nd ure ws mesured y colorimetric determintion of mmonium deriving from enzymtic degrdtion of ure. Sodium nd potssium concentrtions in urine, plsm nd CSF smples were mesured y flme photometry (MicroNl B462). Sodium, cretinine nd ure excretion in 24 hours were clculted s the product of ech solute concentrtion y the 24 h urine output. Sodium nd wter lnce in 24 h were clculted s the difference etween intke nd urinry excretion of sodium nd wter, respectively.

Supplementry Methods Left ventricle wll thickness/left ventricle lumen rtio clcultions: To provide further insight on how the rtio ws clculted, we include here the clcultions we crried out to ssess the dt. In the histologicl sections, the 8
oundries etween the ventricle wll nd lumen re often irregulr. Therefore, direct mesurement of the lumen dimeter nd the wll thickness my result in imprecise vlues depending on the point where they were mesured. To precisely determine ventricle lumen dimeter nd wll thickness, we performed mthemticl processing of the dt to ssess these prmeters s if the wll/lumen oundries were perfect merged circles with the sme center. The following steps descrie in further detil the process. 1 st step: Using the softwre Leic Qwin Imge Processing nd Anlysis Softwre (Germny), we mesured the totl re (lumen + left ventricle wll) of the left ventricle. The rdius ws then clculted using the eqution 1 s if it ws perfect circle: Eqution 1: R = A π Where, R = rdius A = re mesured y the softwre. π = 3.1415926536 2 nd step: Using the softwre, we mesured the lumen re nd clculted the lumen rdius s if it ws perfect circle using the eqution 1. 3 th step: The left ventricle wll thickness ws clculted using the eqution 2: Eqution 2: 9
Wt = R Totl R Lumen Where, Wt = left ventricle wll thickness RTotl = rdius of the wll + lumen circle RLumen = rdius of the lumen circle 4 th Step: The left ventricle wll thickness/lumen dimeter rtio ws clculted using the eqution 3: Eqution 3: Rtio = Wt 2 R Lumen The rtios of the sections from ech niml were verged together nd the resulting rtios of ech niml ws verged to produce one men vlue of rtio for ech experimentl group. 10
