Abstract
Furosemide, administered intravenously (50 mg/kg) to guinea pigs, caused an increase in the sodium concentration and a decrease in the potassium concentration of endolymph, and a fall in the endolymphatic potential. The furosemide-induced electrolyte changes were prevented by pretreatment of five guinea pigs with propranolol given intravenously (2 mg/kg). The fall in the endolymphatic potential was not prevented by propranolol. Local administration of furosemide to the perilymphatic or endolymphatic space caused a fall in the endolymphatic potential, but had no effect upon the concentrations of sodium and potassium of endolymph. These studies provide additional information suggesting the mutual independence of the endolymphatic potential and sodium and potassium concentration gradients.
