Since it has been controversial whether in man changes in taste sensitivity for salt occur in relation to changes in extracellular volume, as has been described in animals, we assessed saline acuity in human volunteers undergoing a predictable pattern of external sodium balance. Our results demonstrate that taste thresholds for salt did not vary despite oppositely directed changes in renal sodium excretion and sodium balance.
