Abnormalities of water metabolism in the elderly.
Hypernatremia is a frequent problem at the extremes of age, but particularly so in elderly individuals. Changes in the physiological responses to water deprivation with increasing age may be of particular interest in understanding the [...]
The clinical physiology of water metabolism. Part I: The physiologic regulation of arginine vasopressin secretion and thirst.
Water balance is tightly regulated within a tolerance of less than 1 percent by a physiologic control system located in the hypothalamus. Body water homeostasis is achieved by balancing renal and nonrenal water losses with [...]
EFFECT OF VARIOUS STATES OF HYDRATION ON PLASMA ADH AND RENIN IN MAN
To investigate the interaction between antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and renin-angiotensin system, plasma ADH and plasma renin activity (PRA) were determined in normal subjects (n = 10) under various hydrated states. Four experimental conditions, i.e., water [...]
