Are Atrial Pressures Involved in the Regulation of Sodium and Water Balance? Studies in Conscious Animals

摘要: The maintenance of sodium and water balance is an essential requirement for proper cell function. Some (but probably not all) variables related to the adjustment after expansion extracellular fluid volume are depicted in Fig. 7.1. relations hormonal, physical neural factors complex any investigation into this subject, some basic experimental considerations required: separation acute from chronic conditions; mechanisms involved excretion retention; consideration quantitative involvement single parameters with respect others; between conscious anaesthetized pre-existing conditions and, last but least, awareness redundancy regulation systems such challenge as providing homeostasis.
