Inappropriate values of the juxtaglomerular index during changes in rat serum sodium levels

Lynette E. Sutherland

Abstract

Extreme variations of dietary sodium are reflected in serum and urinary sodium levels. In rats fed a high-sodium diet and then abruptly switched to a low-sodium diet or fed a low-sodium diet and then switched to a high-sodium diet, the juxtaglomerular index was dissociated from both serum and urinary sodium values.
