EXCRETION OF THE URINARY ANTIDIURETIC PRINCIPLE IN RENAL HYPERTENSIVE DOGS

Abstract
There was no significant difference in the aint. of antidiuretic principle in the mines of renal hypertensive (Goldblatt) dogs, as contrasted with normo tensive animals, either during normal hydration or during dehydration. Dehydration produced a like appearance of the principle in exptl. renal hypertension as in normotension. The results do not support, but do not rule out, the possibility that the activity of the post. lobe of the pituitary is altered in exptl. renal hypertension.
