	Savvysavz  +  139228 Mon, 19 Sep 05 12:11 PM Do you mean solute excretion or solute secretion,please? Solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. E.g: sugar dissolved in water. In this case the sugar is the solute which is going to get dissolved in water which is the solvent. Solute secretion: E.g: NaCl & water solute secretion in the ascending limb of the Loop of Henle, to make the Urine more concentrated (renal physiology). Solute excretion: E.g: The amount of urine excreted/day is dependant on the amount of solute to be excreted. Hope I was of help.
