THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD HYDRATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF CHRONIC DISEASES.
There is increasing evidence that mild dehydration plays a role in the development of various morbidities. In this review, the effects of hydration status on chronic diseases are categorized according to the strength of the [...]
Molecular aspects of water transport.
Due to its fundamental importance, the movement of water across cell membranes has been an active area of research for more than 100 years. This subject is central to consideration of normal water metabolism by [...]
Hydration testing of athletes.
Dehydration not only reduces athletic performance, but also places athletes at risk of health problems and even death. For athletes, monitoring hydration has significant value in maximising performance during training and competition. It also offers [...]
DEHYDRATION ENHANCES ENDOTOXIN FEVER BY INCREASED PRODUCTION OF ENDOGENOUS PYROGEN
The febrile responses in rats to an intravenous injection of the bacterial endotoxin Salmonella typhosa were investigated under normally hydrated and dehydrated conditions. When endotoxin was injected intravenously into the dehydrated rats, a biphasic-patterned fever [...]
