  • Title: [Hormonal regulation of sodium excretion by the kidneys during hunger therapy of obese patients].
    Author: Avershina EO, Seliatitskaia VG, Melidi NN, Shorin IuP.
    Journal: Probl Endokrinol (Mosk); 1992; 38(2):22-4. PubMed ID: 1387480.
    Abstract:
    Sodium excretion and the blood levels of aldosterone, renin, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and insulin were investigated in 9 women with obesity of alimentary-constitutional type during hunger therapy and resumed nutrition. It has been assumed that restricted sodium excretion with the kidneys during fasting is mainly caused by activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, with ANP contributing to it, insulin not playing the major role in this process.
