MECHANISM OF ATTENUATED THIRST IN AGING: ROLE OF CENTRAL VOLUME RECEPTORS
To test the hypothesis that the inhibitory action of central blood volume expansion on thirst and renal fluid regulation is attenuated with aging, we monitored the drinking and renal responses of dehydrated older (70 +/- [...]
THIRST AND HYDRATION: PHYSIOLOGY AND CONSEQUENCES OF DYSFUNCTION
The constant supply of oxygen and nutriments to cells (especially neurons) is the role of the cardiovascular system. The constant supply of water (and sodium) for cardiovascular function is the role of thirst and sodium [...]
