Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG 200) is a useful vehicle for the administration of drugs (1). In an earlier investigation when PEG 200 was administered to rats by gavage, we observed changes in sodium and water metabolism (2). The aim of the present work was to obtain further data in connection with this phenomenon.
