[Possibilities of deposition of electrolytes in the skin in different states of water-salt metabolism].

Isotonic solutions of NaCl, KCl or MgCl2 (5 ml/100 g body weight) were introduced into the stomach of rodents. Participation of the skin in the water--salt homeostasis involved a temporal unspecific detaining of ions which were subsequently excreted from the organism. The NaCl and KCl loads increased the amount of exchangeable sodium in the skin structures. A similar response to all the salt loads was observed in abdominal and spinal parts of the skin.
