... the controls. Sodium retention increased progressively, and at day 20 BDL rats had retained 0.7 mmol/100 g more than the control animals (accumulated retention: BDL, 2.2±0.2 mmol/100 g; sham-operated, 1.5±0.2 mmol/100 g). Plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration were not elevated in the BDL animals...

... patients had contractile dysfunction, which was accentuated when challenged with a dietary sodium load, associated with renal sodium retention (urinary sodium excretion 162±12 mmol/day, compared with 197±12 mmol/day in controls; P < 0.05). Cardiac output was maintained, since the pre-load was normal...

...Florence WONG; Arieh BOMZON; Johane ALLARD; Peter LIU; Laurence BLENDIS Systemic arterial vasodilatation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sodium retention in cirrhosis. Hydrophobic bile acids, which have vasodilatory actions, may be involved. Ursodeoxycholic acid, a hydrophilic bile acid...

... the activation of the renin-aldosterone system, as estimated by urinary aldosterone excretion, the onset of sodium retention and the increase in urinary excretion of 6-keto-PGF 1α and TXB 2 . The urinary excretion of PGE 2 and PGF 2α in CCl 4 rats was reduced throughout the study. 5. These results suggest...

... was similar in normal and diabetic groups. 6. Tubular sodium retention could be an early functional change in the diabetic kidney, and be implicated in the development of diabetic nephropathy.

... and some animals remained hypertensive after each procedure. 2. To assess whether sodium retention was the additional factor which maintained blood pressure when the renin—angiotensin system was suppressed, rats were maintained on a low-salt diet before and during the development of hypertension. The blood...

...S. M. Shasha; O. S. Better; C. Chaimovitz; J. Doman; Y. Kishon 1. Dogs with bile-duct ligation retain salt and water and form ascites. The present study was undertaken to examine the role of haemodynamic factors in the aetiology of this sodium retention. 2. Haemodynamic studies were performed...

... plasma aldosterone did not change significantly. 5. This study suggests that the decrease in plasma renin activity was related to the lowering of the heart rate rather than to sodium retention and that adrenergic-blocking agents can impair the normal relationship between stroke index and plasma volume...

It is suggested that sodium retention in mildly hypertensive rats specifically enhances responses to sympathetic stimulation by increasing the availability of the sympathetic transmitter. 28 3 1973 © 1973 The Biochemical...
