These observations might suggest that either food in general or some constituent of the diet might be involved in the regulation of sodium excretion. Gamble² had previously shown that glucose or food diminished the sodium excretion of life raft survivors. That study compared a period of salt-free nutrition with glucose with a period of fasting, using the subject as his own control. The present investigation is concerned with the effects of dietary constituents (sodium chloride, carbohydrate, or protein and fat) on the established pattern of salt excretion of fasting.
