Fluid was collected by micropuncture from proximal and distal convolutions of anesthetized rats and analyzed for inulin, sodium, urea, and total osmotically active solute. The proximal fluid/plasma (F/P) sodium ratio was not significantly different from unity in antidiuretic animals, but was as low as 0.78 during mannitol diuresis. The distal F/P sodium ratio averaged 0.62 in antidiuresis, and 0.24 during osmotic diuresis. The data are interpreted to indicate active sodium transport by both proximal and distal convolutions. The F/P ratios for inulin, urea, and total osmotically active solute are in general agreement with previous studies.
