  • Title: Renin-aldosterone system and arginine vasopressin in diarrhoeic calves.
    Author: Safwate A, Kati-Coulibaly S, Davicco MJ, Giry J, Barlet JP.
    Journal: Br Vet J; 1991; 147(6):533-7. PubMed ID: 1777795.
    Abstract:
    Plasma renin activity, plasma aldosterone and arginine-vasopressin concentrations were determined in five diarrhoeic and five healthy newborn calves. In animals suffering from diarrhoea these three parameters were 10-15 times higher than those observed in controls. These results suggest that the hormonal systems that control fluid and electrolyte homeostasis are highly stimulated by dehydration and salt depletion induced by faecal losses of water and sodium in calves affected with diarrhoea.
