Abstract

It is of interest to investigate the possible effect of a new synthetic steroid, Aldactone, on the total body weight of the rodent Dipodomys. In addition, the present study includes the effect of dehydration and of high salt intake on the oxygen consumption of the Dipodomys, in a resting state.
