RESUMO
The paper investigates the specific features of chronorhythmologic changes of the ion-regulating function of the kidneys under the hypofunction of the pineal gland. For the study of hypofunction of the pineal gland, animals were maintained under constant light stimulation during 7 days. It has been established that the hypofunction epiphysis point out disturbances of the phasic structure of the ion-regulating function in relation to chronograms of the intact group of rats. In terms of physiological pinealectomy observed in- crease in the excretion of sodium ions (6,11±0,81 mmol/h) and the concentration of this cation in the blood plasma remained elevated around the clock. The obtained results indicate significant changes of integral characteristics of the rhythms of electrolyte metabolism and the important role of the pineal gland in ensuring physiological homeostasis.
