Abstract
The responses of plasma aldosterone, cortisol, and corticosterone to an infusion of 75 mEq of potassium chloride over 120 min were studied in 10 normal subjects. Five subjects were fed a 10 mEq and five a 200 mEq sodium diet, while all subjects ingested 40 mEq and 200 mEq potassium sequentially. Two potassium infusions were performed in each subject when in balance on a fixed sodium intake and low and then high potassium diets.
