Cerebral Na Sensors and Na Appetite of Sheep

  • Chapter
The Physiology of Thirst and Sodium Appetite

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 105))

Abstract

Previous research4 has shown that the Na intake of sheep can be altered by lateral ventricular (IVT) infusions which alter the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Na concentration. For example, infusion of 0.7 M mannitol-CSF decreased CSF [Na] by 15–20 mM and increased the Na intake of both Na-deplete and Na-replete sheep. IVT infusion of 0.5 M NaCl-CSF increased the CSF [Na] by 15–20 mM and decreased Na intake of Na-deplete sheep.
