ABSTRACT



The experiment was carried out on 10 clinically healthy Black-and-White calves during the first seven days of postnatal life. The concentration of ANP in blood plasma was determined with radioimmunoassay. The molality of blood plasma and urine was measured and osmolar clearance, free-water clearance, and free-water reabsorption were calculated.

Key words: atrial natriuretic peptide, osmolar clearance, free-water reabsorption, urinary flow, newborn calves..
