OSMOREGULATION IN BLABERUS CRANlfFER AFTER PARENTERAL INJECTIONS OF NaCl SOLUTIONS
نویسنده
چکیده
l. After injection of NaCl into the abdominal hemocoel of BIaberus craniifer, the osmotic concentration of antenna1 hemolymph peaked at 1.25 hr and returned to pre-injection concentration by 21 hr. The mean plasma clearance was 2.67 @/hr. 2. Force-feeding of water 15min after injection of NaCl prevented the early rise in hemolymph osmotic concentration, but a later gradual increase in osmotic concentration occurred. 3. The onset of spontaneous drinking occurred 0.8 hr after NaCl injection; this correlated with an elevation in hemolymph osmotic concentration. 4. Cumulative spontaneous water intake over 4 days was proportional to the daily injected dose of NaCl.

Osmoregulation in red blood cells of Bufo viridis.
The effect of hyperosmotic solution of NaCl, urea and mannitol on Bufo viridis red blood cells were studied. The percentage of water content in B. viridis red blood cells decreased significantly in NaCl and mannitol hypertonic solutions compared to urea hypertonic solution. The urea concentration found in red blood cells in a urea hypertonic solution was significantly higher than in red blood c...

Rats drank rapidly when 0.3 M NaCl was the only drinking fluid available after overnight water deprivation, consuming approximately 200 ml/24 h. Although such large intakes of this hypertonic solution initially elevated plasma osmolality, excretion of comparable volumes of urine more concentrated than 300 meq Na(+)/l ultimately appears to restore plasma osmolality to normal levels. Rats drank a...

Physiol. 2 17( 1) : 98-l 05, 1969.-Subcutaneous injections of hyperoncotic polyethylene glycol (PG) solutions produced hypovolemia in rats by withdrawing isosmotic plasma fluid into the local interstitium. All animals showed increased thirst, but stopped drinking water well before p...
متن کاملSalt adaptation of the cyanobacterium synechococcus 6311 growing in a continuous culture (turbidostat).
Physiological aspects of salt-adaptation in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6311 growing in a continuous culture (turbidostat) were studied. The process of salt-adaptation was completed within 3 days, as expressed by the specific growth rate of cells grown in the presence of 0.2 and 0.4 molar NaCl. An increase in photosynthetic activity during the adaptation period leads to the accumulation of...
متن کاملEffects of strongly anisosmotic and NaCl deficient solutions on muscimol- and glutamate evoked whole-cell currents in freshly dissociated hippocampal neurons.
Sudden exposure of dissociated hippocampal neurons to strongly hypo- or hyperosmotic solutions suppresses voltage gated Na+, K+ and Ca2+ currents. We investigated whether ligand gated ion currents were similarly shut down by exposure to anisosmotic solutions. The effect of hypo-osmotic, NaCl deficient (mannitol-substituted), or hyper-osmotic test solutions delivered from a flow pipette was test...
