Since these animals lack circulating vasopressin, fractional water reabsorption in the distal nephron can be assumed to be constant and changes in urine flow rate should therefore reflect changes in end\u2010proximal fluid delivery. Sodium depletion was induced by placing rats on a low\u2010sodium diet (4 mmol Na (kg dry wt)\u20101) and administering frusemide (40 mg (kg body wt)\u20101) by gavage on the first 2 days. Extracellular volume, measured after 7\u20109 days, was reduced by 19% (P &lt; 0.02) as compared with that of rats maintained on a control diet. Urine flow rate, measured during days 4\u20107 of the low\u2010sodium diet, was significantly lower than that of control rats (142 +\/\u2212 8 vs. 168 +\/\u2212 5 ml day\u20101, P &lt; 0.01). Since renal papillary interstitial fluid osmolality was found to be reduced in the sodium\u2010depleted rats (693 +\/\u2212 38 vs. 812 +\/\u2212 36 mosmol (kg H2O)\u20101, P &lt; 0.05), it is unlikely that water reabsorption from sites beyond the proximal tubule had increased. The observed reduction in urine flow rate therefore strongly suggests a reduction in end\u2010proximal fluid delivery. In the second part of the study, a single group of Brattleboro rats was used, in which osmotic minipumps were implanted in the peritoneal cavity for continuous infusion of [14C]inulin. After recovery from the operation, the rats were maintained on a control diet for 6 days (pre\u2010control period), then subjected to sodium depletion (low\u2010sodium diet for 6 days, frusemide administration on the first 2 days), and finally returned to the control diet for 6 days, with access to 0.46 M NaCl solution on the first 2 days, in order to restore sodium balance (post\u2010control period). On the final 2 days of each phase, urine flow rate and [14C]inulin clearance (= glomerular filtration rate, GFR) were measured. Urine flow rates during the pre\u2010control, sodium depletion and post\u2010control periods were 169 +\/\u2212 7, 132 +\/\u2212 8 (P &lt; 0.001) and 176 +\/\u2212 8 microliters min\u20101, respectively; corresponding values for fractional water excretion were 7.0 +\/\u2212 0.3, 6.0 +\/\u2212 0.5 (P &lt; 0.01) and 7.4 +\/\u2212 0.4%. Only a small reduction GFR, of borderline statistical significance, was observed during sodium depletion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1113\/expphysiol.1994.sp003749","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,16]],"date-time":"2014-12-16T13:04:02Z","timestamp":1418735042000},"page":"161-173","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The effect of chronic sodium depletion on renal function in conscious rats"],"prefix":"10.1113","volume":"79","author":[{"given":"DG","family":"Shirley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Skinner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,3]]},"container-title":["Experimental Physiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1113%2Fexpphysiol.1994.sp003749","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1113\/expphysiol.1994.sp003749","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,24]],"date-time":"2023-10-24T04:43:04Z","timestamp":1698122584000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1113\/expphysiol.1994.sp003749"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1994,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1994,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1113\/expphysiol.1994.sp003749"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1113\/expphysiol.1994.sp003749","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0958-0670","1469-445X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0958-0670","type":"print"},{"value":"1469-445X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1994,3]]}}}
