%X Through different concentrations of sodium in the diet, we investigated whether the natriuresis observed inthe DBR rats since weaning resulted from the higher Na + intake or from its lower conservation by thekidney and its effect on the urinary concentration. For this purpose, we used a multicentre diet, locally calledthe regional basic diet (DBR) and 60 male Wistar rats, treated from weaning with: (i) control diet, by theAmerican Institute of Nutrition (AIN); ii) DBR supplemented with low Na + content (0.06%), the DBRgroup;   (iii)   DBR   supplemented   with   normal   Na   +   content   (0.3%),   the   DBRnorm   group;   iv)   DBRsupplemented with high Na + content (3.12%), the DBRhiper group. The excretion capacity in relation tosodium intake was similar between these two groups (99.01 ¡À 0.12 vs 99.02 ¡À 0.17%). Malnutritioncompromised the urinary concentration mechanism
