S. Loeffler et Gm. Brosvic, SALT-TASTE RESPONSIVITY IN LONG-EVANS RATS AND EGYPTIAN SPINY MICE TREATED WITH HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE, Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 31(6), 1993, pp. 583-585
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.
