Abstract
During exptl salt deficiency induced by diet and sweating, the serum Na and Cl fell. The serum proteins, the Hb. and cell vols. rose, in spite of a liberal fluid intake. The red blood cells did not alter in size, and osmotic equilibrium with the hypotonic plasma appeared to be maintained by passage of K and Cl out of the cells. After restoration of a free NaCl intake the serum proteins, Hb. and cell vol. fell temporarily below their initial levels.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
