title: [Change in aldosterone secretion by the adrenals and in its urinary excretion in rats under the action of acid polysaccharides].
abstract: Repeated administration of chondroitin sulfate to rats in doses of 20 and 120 mg/kg/24 hours led to reduction in the level of urinary aldosterone excretion in rats. Carboxymethylcellulose and alginic acid displayed no inhibitory effect. Urinary aldosterone excretion decreased in rats 24 hours after a single administration of chondroitin sulfate; this effect persisted for the following 3-4 days. The maximal reduction of aldosterone excretion (by 50%) occurred on the 3rd and the 4th day after administration of the preparation. Intraperitoneal injection of chondroitin sulfate to rats diminished the rate of aldosterone secretion by the adrenal glands; as to corticosterone secretion--it remained unchanged.
