... < 0.05). In animals on a low salt intake post-prandial right atrial pressure decreased slightly, but remained in the range of fasting values, during angiotensin II infusion. 5. Neither plasma osmolality nor plasma sodium concentration changed in any of the four protocols. 6. We conclude that the post...

...M. J. Allen; V. T. Y. Ang; E. D. Bennett; J. S. Jenkins 1. Eight normal volunteers were infused with 5% saline (5 g of NaCl/100 ml) at a rate of 0.06 ml min −1 kg −1 for 120 min to increase plasma osmolality and plasma arginine vasopressin. Human atrial natriuretic peptide (α-hANP; 100 μg...

... of this plasma on Na + ,K + -ATPase activity, and its transport equivalent 86 Rb uptake, was measured in separated guinea pig renal cortical tubules. 2. Plasma from water deplete rats had a raised plasma osmolality and sodium concentration and a significant inhibitory effect on Na + ,K + -ATPase (14%) and 86 Rb...
