Body water metabolism in early infancy.
A short survey is given over water metabolism from early fetal life to infancy. The close connection between water metabolism and body composition is described as well as the changes taking place during growth. The [...]
Electrolyte & water metabolism in sports activities.
Few studies in water and electrolyte metabolism during sports activities have directed attention to magnesium. Addition of magnesium to sports beverages in appropriate concentrations appears to be safe. This article considers the potential role and [...]

The clinical physiology of water metabolism. Part III: The water depletion (hyperosmolar) and water excess (hyposmolar) syndromes.
Hyperosmolality occurs when there are defects in the two major homeostatic mechanisms required for water balance-thirst and arginine vasopressin (AVP) release. In this situation hypotonic fluids are lost in substantial quantities causing depletion of both [...]
