Abstract

It was established that section of the spinal cord brings about decreased water dluresis. The higher the level of the section the greater the development of water diuresis.

Disturbance of water exctetory function of the kidney following section of the spinal cord is connected with the break of the afferent routes from the osmoreceptors to the nuclei of the hypothalamic area.
