[The temperature hysteresis of water-salt metabolism in the frog Rana temporaria].
Frogs acclimated to 4 degrees C were transported to a medium with temperature 20 degrees C, which caused polyuria; recovery of normal diuresis took about 24 h. During this period, hypernatremia was observed together with the increase in natriuresis, the rate of renal excretion of potassium ions with urea remaining constant. Water content of skeletal muscles decreased. Transportation of frogs acclimated to 20 degrees C into a medium with a temperature 4 degrees C decreased their diuresis. Renal excretion of sodium, calcium and magnesium ions remained unchanged, whereas that of potassium ions significantly decreased. The content of potassium and magnesium in the blood serum increased, that of sodium--decreased. Hydratation of muscled and kidneys was accompanied by the decrease of calcium, potassium and magnesium ions calculated per wet weight of the tissues, the level of sodium remaining unaffected. The data obtained indicate significant changes in the pattern of water and salt metabolism in frogs during temperature hysteresis.
