摘要
Diuresis was studied in vivo by measuring the loss of tritiated water. The basal rate of water loss (5 nl/min) represents respiratory and cuticular losses, whereas higher rates reflect urine output. which reaches 20 nl/min after injection of 1 mu1 distilled water. This response to hypervolemia involves release of a diuretic hormones into the hemolymph. However, housefly diuretic peptides increased urine output to a maximum of only 7 nl/min, and higher rates may require fluid reabsorption from the hindgut to be reduced. Diuresis is partially blocked by injected anti-muscakinin antibodies, providing evidence of a hormonal function for this insect myokinin. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
