Description xii, 248 leaves : illustrations ; 30 cm Summary This research determined how the natriuretic peptide system, which controls water and salt balance, responds to water limitation in a desert rodent. It was found that a uniform down-regulation of the system is not part of the physiological response to minimise water loss during periods of low water availability Notes Submitted to the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Deakin University Thesis (Ph.D.)--Deakin University, Victoria, 2004 Bibliography Bibliography: leaves 225-248 Subject Rodents -- Physiology -- Australia.
