The effect of 1 mmol l^-1 sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on Na⁺ and K⁺ content and inulin space in kidney and gill tissue from brown trout

	Na⁺ content (nmol mg^-1 wet mass)	K⁺ content (nmol mg^-1 wet mass)	Inulin space (μl mg^-1 wet mass)	cGMP concentration (fmol mg^-1 protein)
Kidney tissue

SNP	73.3±1.1^*	73.6±0.8^*	0.139±0.004	469±62^*
Gill tissue
Control	89.1±1.1	69.9±0.8	0.124±0.004	230±27
SNP	89.8±1.3	68.9±1.2	0.120±0.005	365±31^*

The tissues were incubated under standard conditions for 2×30 min. Cyclic GMP (cGMP) concentrations were determined in both tissues following 10 min incubation with or without 1 mmol l^-1 SNP.

Significant effect of treatment (P<0.05). Values are means± S.E.M. (N=6).
