The mechanism of the natriuresis of fasting.

Abstract: A B S T R A C T This study tests the hypothesis that obligatory cation coverage of metabolically generated anions is the mechanism for the sodium diuresis of fasting. Nine obese female subjects were equilibrated on a constant sodium and caloric intake and then fasted while sodium intake was maintained. Particular attention was paid to maintaining the same upright activity schedule during fasting as during control. Consecutive 3-h increases in urinary sodium, ammonium, and potassium excretion during fasting wer… Show more

“…However, other studies suggested that NPR3 gene expression is decreased markedly by fasting (Sarzani et al 1995), and therefore, the tissue bioactivity of ANP might be promoted in fasting conditions. Increased ANP bioactivity related to NPR3 expression could be related to increased natriuresis, diuresis, hypotension, and lipolysis under low-calorific diets or fasting conditions (Sigler 1975, Sarzani et al 1995, Dessì-Fulgheri et al 1999, Sengenes et al 2002. ANP also has the switching role in glycolysis from anaerobic to aerobic metabolism (Birkenfeld et al 2005).…”

“…Because the serum albumin remained stable throughout the study, it is unlikely that the remaining 33% of the weight loss was at the expense of the visceral protein pool. Rather, it is probable that a major portion of the nonfat weight loss represents intracellular and extracellular water lost secondary to the natriuresis associated with ketosis (30)(31)(32), as well as water lost in association with the approximately one-third depletion in muscle glycogen stores (normal stores, 500 g, 3 ml of water stored with each g of glycogen, hence 670 g of intracellular contents lost).…”

“…Lipid catabolism and the (hepatic) production of ketone bodies also increases rapidly and is quantitatively similar after 3 days and 5-6 weeks of starvation (8), but plasma levels increase only gradually to plateau after 4 weeks (4,9). The associated increase in urinary ketone body (organic-acid) excretion requires a compensatory increase in ammonia production and urinary excretion (4,7,10), which is met by an increased renal amino acid uptake and gluconeogenesis (5,6). As a result, the kidney and the liver produce similar amounts of glucose (4,6) and ammonia/urea (7) after 2-3 weeks of fasting.…”
