Abstract
Experiment 1 assessed the percentage of 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0% NaCl solution ingested by gerbils when they were given a choice between one of these saline solutions and water. The gerbils showed a uniformly low level of acceptance of these hypertonic solutions. When given a choice between 4.0 and 8.0% NaCl (Expt 2), the gerbils showed a preference for 4.0% saline. Experiment 3 evaluated the effects of Aldactazide on the gerbils' intake of 6.0% NaCl solution. The results indicated that relative to intake before and after the injection days, the gerbils showed a significant increase in saline intake. Experiment 4 examined the effects of DOCA injections on the gerbils' intake of 6.0% NaCl. The effects were dose-related. Injections of 5 mg of DOCA significantly increased the gerbils' saline intake while injections of 1 mg of the mineralocorticoid had no effect.
