The metabolic clearance Rate (MCR) of aldosterone was measured in the adult male sand Rat (Psammomys obesus) live-trapped throughout the year in the Béni-Abbès area, in the Algerian Sahara desert. Aldosterone MCR was about 4-61/24 h/100 g body wt and was not significantly different throughout the year. Taken together with previous results on annual variations in plasma concentrations of aldosterone, these data suggest that the in vivo production rate of aldosterone of the sand rat exhibited marked seasonal changes: highest in autumn and winter, it decreased in spring and was minimum in June and July.
在阿尔及利亚撒哈拉沙漠贝尼 - 阿贝斯地区全年活体捕获的成年雄性沙鼠（肥胖沙鼠）中，测量了醛固酮的代谢清除率（MCR）。醛固酮的MCR约为4 - 6升/24小时/100克体重，全年无显著差异。结合先前关于醛固酮血浆浓度年度变化的结果，这些数据表明沙鼠体内醛固酮的产生率呈现明显的季节性变化：秋季和冬季最高，春季下降，6月和7月最低。
