Abstract
In seven obese female subjects undergoing a period of therapeutic starvation, the excretion of sodium, potassium and dopamine and plasma levels of renin and aldosterone were measured. Sodium excretion increased during starvation and was maximal on the 2nd day. The urinary excretion of dopamine was significantly higher on day 4 and it remained elevated till the end of the study. Plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone levels were also higher on the 4th-6th days of starvation. These findings suggest that dopamine may not play a significant role in the natriuresis of starvation.
