RESUMO
Urinary parameters related to acid base homeostasis were studied in adrenalectomized rats (ADX) as well as in ADX treated with physiological doses of corticosterone (B), aldosterone (aldo) or 18-Hydroxycorticosterone (l8HOB) during 1,3 or 5 days, under basal conditions and after gravage with 200 mM HCI. The results showed a) a persistent effect of B and l8HOB increasing titratable acidity principally in response to acidosis; b) an increased phosphate elimination in acidotic B treated ADX on the first day, and in 18 HOB treated ADX on days 3 and 5; c) pronounced increases in blood pH and blood bicarbonate levels provoked by the three steroids on day 1; d) increments of ammonium elimination in response to acidosis by aldo treatmets on the first day, while B and l8HOB increase ammonium elimination under almost all conditions during the whole experiment; e) the effects of B and 18 HOB would be independent of an increase in sodium retention as well as glomerular filtration rate.
