Natriuretic responses to vehicle and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in Zucker lean and obese rats. Zucker lean (blank columns) and obese (filled columns) rats were administered with a vehicle (200 μl of normal saline) and placed into metabolic cages for 24 hours. The urine was collected during the early 3-hour period (left panels) and for the rest of the 24-hour collection period for determination of urinary sodium excretion (UNaV), urinary flow (UF) and urinary potassium excretion (UKV). The following week the measurements were repeated after the administration HCTZ (3.75 mg/kg). The data are expressed in absolute values and as ratio per body weight.
