Absence of Sodium Appetite in Cyclophosphamide and DOCA Treated House Mice

Intraperitoneal administration of cyclophosphamide 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg significantly lowered plasma sodium and significantly increased plasma potassium but did not result in saline preference in a strain of wild-derived house mice given a choice between water and saline (0.15M) to drink. Deoxycorticosterone acetate treatment in dosages up to 1.5 mg for four days also failed to increase salt intake. The data suggest a possible absence of a sodium appetite mechanism in this species.
