Fig. 1. The influence of acetazolamide (20 mg kg-1) administered at 3 h
on: (A) rectal gland Cl- secretion rate: (B) arterial pH; (C)
arterial CO2 tension; and (D) arterial plasma bicarbonate
concentration. Values are means ± 1 s.e.m. Control data are from fish
(N=7) identically infused with 500 mmol l-1 NaCl but not
treated with acetazolamide. *Values significantly different
(P<0.05) from the simultaneous value in the control treatment;
values significantly different (P<0.05) from
the pre-treatment reference values in the same treatment group.
