Abstract

In normal rat tail tendon where evaporation is prevented, sodium space is significantly lower than water ( P < 0.001), while chloride space is not significantly different from water ( P = 0.2). On acute sodium and chloride depletion by intraperitoneal dialysis with 4.5% mannitol, the observed changes in sodium or chloride space/water are not significant ( P > 0.05). Rat tail tendon water closely resembles plasma ultrafiltrate with respect to chloride concentration, but its sodium concentration is less than that of an ultrafiltrate.
