Fluid, electrolyte, and renal indices of hydration during 11 days of controlled caffeine consumption.
This investigation determined if 3 levels of controlled caffeine consumption affected fluid-electrolyte balance and renal function differently. Healthy males (mean +/- standard deviation; age, 21.6 +/- 3.3 y) consumed 3 mg caffeine . kg(-1) . [...]
Hydration assessment techniques.
Water in the human body is essential for metabolism, temperature regulation, and numerous other physiological processes that are consistent with good health. Accurate, precise, and reliable methods to assess body fluid compartments are needed. This [...]
Effect of hydration on plasma volume and endocrine responses to water immersion.
To determine the effect of hydration on the early osmotic and intravascular volume and endocrine responses to water immersion the hematocrit, hemoglobin, plasma renin activity (PRA), and plasma electrolyte, aldosterone (PA), and vasopressin (PVP) concentrations [...]
Effect of hydration on plasma vasopressin, renin, and aldosterone responses to head-up tilt.
If plasma vasopressin (PVP), plasma renin (PRA), and plasma aldosterone (PA) responses to change in posture are mediated only by alterations in intrathoracic baroreceptor activity, hydration status should have minimal influence on these responses. To [...]
