Secretion from normal and supersensitive avian salt glands

Secretion from normal and supersensitive avian salt glands

The sensitivity of the chronically denervated salt gland of the domestic goose to hypertonic, oral salt loading was investigated. In conscious geese the chronically denervated salt gland was supersensitive to an oral salt load. d‐Aldosterone did not appear to stimulate either the normal or denervate...

Zusammenfassung:The sensitivity of the chronically denervated salt gland of the domestic goose to hypertonic, oral salt loading was investigated. In conscious geese the chronically denervated salt gland was supersensitive to an oral salt load. d‐Aldosterone did not appear to stimulate either the normal or denervated glands above control experiments. However, aldosterone did have a tendency to cause prolongation of secretion time.
