Effect of Adrenalectomy on the Renal Response to Chloride Depletion in the Rat

Abstract

These experiments were aimed at investigating renal behavior towards chloride, as distinct from sodium, during dietary deprivation of these ions in adrenalectomized rats. Adrenalectomized and shamoperated control rats were maintained on saline for 3 wk, then chloride conservation during a very low chloride intake was assessed both with an abundant sodium intake (as buffered sodium phosphate in the drinking water) and after subsequent withdrawal of sodium. When sodium intake was high, there was no difference in chloride conservation between adrenalectomized and control animals, and sodium balance and weight were maintained similarly in both groups. At the same time, both experimental and control rats developed significant hypokalemia and elevation of the plasma bicarbonate levels as compared to other control rats ingesting a normal diet. In another group of adrenalectomized rats sodium phosphate was withdrawn, after normal chloride conservation was observed, and the low-salt diet continued. Negative sodium balance developed and was associated with a negative chloride balance, whereas sham-operated rats continued to conserve sodium and chloride. In further studies during polyuria, both adrenalectomized and control rats developed urinary chloride concentrations of less than 1 meq/liter.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
