Streptozotocin Induced Diabetes

1. Intakes and urine outputs of fluid and electrolytes were measured daily in rats before, and for 3 weeks after, induction of diabetes by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ; 60 mg/kg); control animals received saline. 2. Water intakes and urine outputs were increased on and after the first day after injection with STZ; after a transient period of negative water balance, fluid intakes and urine outputs increased in parallel. 3. Food intake was reduced for the first 3 days after injection of STZ but thereafter there was a steady increase. On the final experimental day, the food intake of the diabetic group was 60% greater than that of the control group. 4. Urinary electrolyte excretion was increased after injection of STZ; at the end of the experiment, the increase in urinary sodium excretion was similar to the increase in intake but the increase in urinary potassium excretion was less. 5. On day 21 after injection of STZ plasma sodium concentration and packed cell volume were significantly reduced in the diabetic group but plasma potassium concentration was not. 6. There was a difference between the measured osmolality and the calculated osmolarity of the plasma of the diabetic animals which was not seen in the controls. This difference was not due to pseudohyponatraemia, but was probably due to the presence of unidentified solutes, since there was a significant gap between the urinary osmolal and osmolar excretion in the diabetic animals that was not present in the control animals.

SUMMARYEffect of 24 h and 48 h of water deprivation on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and on blood and urine electrolyte levels in Marwari sheep of the Rajasthan desert, India, have been recorded. Body weight, urine volume, GFR and erythrocyte sodium concentration in these animals registered considerable decreases due to dehydration. Both plasma sodium and urinary potassium concentrations remained unaffected. While plasma potassium was somewhat reduced, the potassium in red blood cells increased after 48 h of water deprivation. The most remarkable response was in the concentration of urinary sodium which rose to more than double the normal level.

Context: Twenty-five percent of athletic trainers administer pickle juice (PJ) to treat cramping. Anecdotally, some clinicians provide multiple boluses of PJ during exercise but warn that repeated ingestion of PJ may cause hyperkalemia. To our knowledge, no researchers have examined the effect of ingesting multiple boluses of PJ on the same day or the effect of ingestion during exercise. Objective: To determine the short-term effects of ingesting a single bolus or multiple boluses of PJ on plasma variables and to characterize changes in plasma variables when individuals ingest PJ and resume exercise. Design: Crossover study. Setting: Laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: Nine euhydrated men (age = 23 ± 4 years, height = 180.9 ± 5.8 cm, mass = 80.7 ± 13.8 kg, urine specific gravity = 1.009 ± 0.005). Intervention(s): On 3 days, participants rested for 30 minutes, and then a blood sample was collected. Participants ingested 0 or 1 bolus (1 mL·kg−1 body weight) of PJ, donned sweat suits, biked vigorously for 30 minutes (approximate temperature = 37°C, relative humidity = 18%), and had a blood sample collected. They either rested for 60 seconds (0- and 1-bolus conditions) or ingested a second 1 mL·kg−1 body weight bolus of PJ (2-bolus condition). They resumed exercise for another 35 minutes. A third blood sample was collected, and they exited the environmental chamber and rested for 60 minutes (approximate temperature = 21°C, relative humidity = 18%). Blood samples were collected at 30 and 60 minutes postexercise. Main Outcome Measure(s): Plasma sodium concentration, plasma potassium concentration, plasma osmolality, and changes in plasma volume. Results: The number of PJ boluses ingested did not affect plasma sodium concentration, plasma potassium concentration, plasma osmolality, or changes in plasma volume over time. The plasma sodium concentration, plasma potassium concentration, and plasma osmolality did not exceed 144.6 mEq·L−1 (144.6 mmol·L−1), 4.98 mEq·L−1 (4.98 mmol·L−1), and 289.5 mOsm·kg−1H2O, respectively, in any condition at any time. Conclusions: Ingesting up to 2 boluses of PJ and resuming exercise caused negligible changes in blood variables. Ingesting up to 2 boluses of PJ did not increase plasma sodium concentration or cause hyperkalemia.

Aldosterone Secretion

This study was conducted to determine the quantitative importance of the aldosterone feedback mechanism in controlling each one of three major factors that have often been associated with aldosterone, namely, extracellular fluid sodium concentration, extracellular fluid potassium concentration, and extracellular fluid volume. To do this, the ability of the body to control these three factors in the face of marked changes in daily sodium or potassium intake was studied under two conditions: 1) in the normal dog, and 2) in the dog in which the aldosterone feedback mechanism was prevented from functioning by removing the adrenal glands and then providing a continuous fixed level of supportive aldosterone and glucocorticoids during the low and high electrolyte intake periods. Under these conditions, removal of feedback control of aldosterone secretion decreased the effectiveness of plasma potassium control by nearly fivefold (39% vs. 8% change in plasma potassium concentration), fluid volume by sixfold (12% vs. 2% change in sodium space) and had no effect on control of plasma sodium concentration (2% change with and without feedback control of aldosterone secretion.)

Sodium And Potassium

The handling of sodium and potassium by the renal tubules at various levels of hypothermia was studied. Fourteen dogs were anesthetized with 30 mg/kg sodium pentobarbital. After suitable control clearance measurements, the rectal temperature was lowered progressively by ice-packing to about 25 °C while renal clearances were continuously measured. Artificial respiration was not used. No change in plasma sodium was detected but plasma potassium fell significantly from a control value of 4.1 ± 0.09 meq/1. at 38 °C to 3.4 ± 0.12 meq/1. at 25 °C. Urine sodium concentration fell during exposure to cold while potassium concentration increased slightly. In spite of the marked fall in glomerular nitration rate (69.0 ± 3.1 ml/minute control to 17.0 ± 3.6 ml/minute at 25 °C) the final urine flow at 25 °C was slightly greater than that of control. The clearance ratios (in percentage) increased significantly, reflecting the marked decrease in tubular reabsorption: water, 0.49 ± 0.05 at 38 °C to 2.02 ± 0.25 at 25 °C; sodium, 0.47 ± 0.12 to 1.13 ± 0.27; potassium, 18.0 ± 2.6 to 54.0 ± 12.0. The difference in clearance ratio alterations is a reflection of the dissimilar effect of hypothermia on particular renal regulations.

Sodium And Potassium

This is the first report of salt gland secretion in cranes (Gruidae). The sodium and potassium concentrations of the plasma, tears, salt gland secretion, and urine of the brolga were determined. Tear sodium was equal to plasma sodium; tear plasma was four times as concentrated as plasma potassium. These values were normal for tears. The salt gland secretion sodium concentration (about 300 m-equivll) was lower than that reported for other NaC1-injected birds. This may be due to the diet, small gland size, or to insufficient stress. The salt gland secretion to plasma ratios were the same for sodium and potassium. This is unusual. The urine had a lower sodium concentration than the plasma.

Sodium And Potassium

After running a distance of 100 meters in 7 minutes, untrained rats showed a rise in plasma potassium and a fall in plasma sodium as measured in tail vein samples. These changes are in accord with in vitro observations of the effects of exercise on isolated muscle preparations and similarly are taken to indicate a gain of sodium and a loss of potassium by the exercised muscles in the whole animal. Within 10 minutes of completion of the exercise, plasma sodium concentration was restored to normal while potassium was restored within 20 minutes. Exercise was accompanied by a fall in haematocrit, which remained low for up to 40 minutes. A period of 2 months of preliminary training modified the response to exercise. In these trained animals, a fall in sodium concentration occurred as before but the rise in potassium concentration was less in degree and the haematocrit did not change. It is suggested that the rate of increase of plasma potassium is an index of muscle efficiency while the height of plasma potassium is correlated with the fatigue limit of exercise.

Plasma renin activity (PRA), renin substrate concentration (PRS), aldosterone concentration (PA), and cortisol levels were determined in five camels during dehydration (8–10 days complete denial of water) and at timed intervals after rapid rehydration in cool spring and hot summer weather. Plasma sodium concentration increased from 138 +/- 3.7 to 147 +/- 2.5 (mean +/- SE) meq/l during spring dehydration, and from 146 +/- 1.3 to 157 +/- 1.14 meq/l during dehydration in the summer. Plasma sodium concentration returned to control levels over the course of several hours following rapid rehydration. Only minor changes in plasma potassium concentration occurred. The hormonal changes were accentuated in the summer dehydration. PRA increased slightly on dehydration, and returned to control levels over the course of several hours following rehydration. PA increased slightly on dehydration but was markedly elevated 24 h after rehydration. PRS showed a slight increase following rehydration in the spring experiment, but no significant change in the summer experiment. Changes in cortisol were insignificant. The results are consistent with a role for angiotensin and aldosterone in enhancing sodium and water reabsorption from kidney and large intestine on dehydration in this species.

Change In Mean

Infusion of d,l-propranolol in both anesthetized and conscious dogs caused decreases in heart rate (HR), plasma renin activity (PRA), and plasma aldosterone. There was no consistent change in mean arterial blood pressure, plasma renin substrate concentration, packed cell volume, plasma potassium, or plasma sodium concentration following the infusion of propranolol. In five conscious animals, infusion of propranolol (1 mg/kg followed by 0.47–0.65 mg kg−1 h−1) reduced HR from 117.6 ± 4.0 beats per minute (mean ± SE) during control periods to 73.2 ± 2.0 beats per minute (P < 0.005) 90 min after the start of infusion. PRA decreased from 9.97 ± 1.79 ng ml−1 h−1 during control periods to reach 1.50 ± 0.42 ng ml−1 h−1 (P < 0.005) at the end of the 90-min infusions. Plasma aldosterone also decreased during this time from 17.60 ± 1.93 ng% during control periods to reach 6.64 ± 0.98 ng% (P < 0.005). The data suggest that propranolol at the dose administered suppresses renin and aldosterone secretion in unstimulated dogs. They suggest also that β-receptor activity contributes to basal renin release.

Antidiuretic Effect

1. The antidiuretic effect of hydrochlorothiazide in diabetes insipidus was investigated in rats with the hereditary hypothalamic form of the disease (Brattleboro rats). 2. Administration of hydrochlorothiazide in the food resulted in a marked fall in urine volume and a corresponding rise in osmolality. These effects persisted throughout the period of treatment (6–7 days). 3. Body weight and extracellular volume were significantly reduced in the thiazide-treated rats. 4. Hydrochlorothiazide caused an increase in urinary sodium excretion only on the first day of treatment. The resulting small negative sodium balance (in comparison with untreated rats) remained statistically significant for 2 days only. Thiazide-treated rats gradually developed a potassium deficit which was statistically significant from the fourth day of treatment. 5. Total exchangeable sodium, measured after 7 days of thiazide treatment, was not significantly different from that of untreated rats. However, plasma sodium was reduced in thiazide-treated animals, whereas erythrocyte sodium concentration was elevated. 6. It is concluded that the antidiuresis resulting from chronic hydrochlorothiazide administration is associated with a reduction in extracellular volume, but not with a significant overall sodium deficit. Hydrochlorothiazide appears to cause a redistribution of the body's sodium such that the amount of sodium in the extracellular fluid compartment is reduced.

Discrete Area

A small discrete area near the optic recess of the anterior ventral third ventricle (AV3V) in the rat brain has been shown to be an important mediator of cardiovascular and dipsogenic response to angiotensin II and osmotic stimuli and to be involved in normal day-to-day regulation of water and electrolyte balance. However, no attempt has been made until now to explore the function of the AV3V in species other than the rat. In the present study, rabbits subjected to electrolytic lesion of the AV3V exhibited expanded plasma volume and plasma sodium concentration, and significantly attenuated pressor responses to angiotensin II and hypertonic sodium chloride solutions injected via the lateral ventricles. Resting arterial pressure, plasma potassium concentration, extracellular fluid volume, and pressor responses to intravenous angiotensin II were not changed by lesioning. Thus, the effects of AV3V lesions in rabbits are similar, but not identical, to those previously observed in rats. Rabbits should be a suitable species in which to carry out studies aimed at distinguishing central and peripheral cardiovascular effects of angiotensin II.
