In this study the effect of Nac1 on plasma immunoreactive gastrin was investigated. I.P. administration of sodium chloride (0.9%) in a dose of 1 ml/kg.b.w. for 7 days in rats, produced a significant rise in level of sodium ion in plasma. This hypernatraemia was also accompanied by significant rise in values of plasma immunoreactive gastrin. The mechanism(s) of this sodium chloride-induced release of gastrin is discussed.
