Having demonstrated that the rat parotid gland is able to excrete a hypotonic saliva, we studied the formation of saliva in the different segments of the duct system, through micropuncture and microanalytical techniques. The duct system of the gland is composed of three functionally different segmen

The rat parotid has been considered a salivary gland that produces saliva isotonic to plasma and with high sodium concentrations at all flow rates. We studied the excretion of sodium, potassium and total solute in the unstimulated and pilocarpine stimulated parotid of adult rats. The effects of retr
Samples of proximal and distal tubular fuid were collected from control rats and from adrenalectomized animals maintained on 0.90/0 NaC1 solution. Plasma and tubular fluid were analyzed for Na 22 afber adequate isotope equilibration and for Na and K by microflamephotometry. Similar analyses were per
## Background The diuretic effect of valproates and its relation to urinary potassium (K^+^) and chloride (Cl^-^) excretion have not yet been investigated, so the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of a single dose of sodium valproate (NaVPA) on 24-h urinary K^+^ and Cl^-^ excretion in
