Über den Einfluß von Oxytocin und Vasopressin auf die Ausscheidung von Kalium und Natrium durch die Niere

Summary

In decisive experiments on diuresis with rats it is shown that oxytocin and vasopressin have a contrary effect on the excretion of Na and K. Oxytocin increases the excretion of Na, vasopressin decreases the excretion of Na and raises the excretion of K. The effects on Cl-and water-metabolism may be considered only as consequences of the primary effect on Na and K.
