Abstract
Sodium chloride (NaCl) consumption (3 x 10(-1) M) by and NaCl and pota ssium chloride (KCl) preferences of Long-Evans rats and Egyptian spiny mice were assessed prior to, during, and after maintenance on hydroch lorothiazide (HCTZ) or control procedures. The rats demonstrated incre ased sodium salt consumption and lowered NaCl preference thresholds an d similar, although less robust, changes were observed for the spiny m ice. No changes in salt-taste sensitivity were observed for the contro l animals.
