Abstract
We examined the contributions of oral and hepatic factors to the control of salt intake in rats made "salt hungry" by combined dietary sodium restriction and furosemide treatment. A 7.5-ml preload of 0.5 M NaCl, which was either voluntarily ingested or slowly infused (7.5 ml/90 min) into the hepatic portal vein, decreased subsequent 0.5 M NaCl intake by approximately 7.5 ml in both cases. Hepatic portal infusions were probably acting in the liver because slow jugular infusions (7.5 ml/90 min) did not influence salt drinking, although rapid (7.5 ml/5 min) infusions by both routes reduced salt intake. If salt was ingested but drained through a gastric cannula, rats showed little sign of reducing salt in a 2-h test. These results suggest that the quantity of salt ingested by salt-hungry rats is regulated by a postabsorptive mechanism that is probably located in the liver.
