PLASMA OSMOLALITY AND URINARY CONCENTRATION AND DILUTION DURING AND AFTER PREGNANCY: EVIDENCE THAT LATERAL RECUMBENCY INHIBITS MAXIMAL URINARY CONCENTRATING ABILITY.
In nine women studied serially before conception and through the first trimester, plasma osmolality (Posm) started to decline with the first missed menstrual period, was significantly decreased by the fifth week of pregnancy and was [...]
OLYCYTHEMIA AND HYDRATION: EFFECTS ON THERMOREGULATION AND BLOOD VOLUME DURING EXERCISE-HEAT STRESS
We studied the effects of autologous erythrocyte infusion on thermoregulation and blood volume during exercise in the heat. Specifically, we wanted to determine whether heat-acclimated subjects, as well as hypohydrated subjects, would have a thermoregulatory [...]
HUMAN INTRAVASCULAR IMMUNOGLOBULIN RESPONSES TO EXERCISE-HEAT AND HYPOHYDRATION
Several investigators have suggested that prolonged exercise and hypohydration alter the intravascular mass of immunoglobulins. Those studies, however, have methodological concerns which make generalizations from their data very tenuous. This study examined the effects of [...]
CHANGES IN THE METABOLIC CLEARANCE OF VASOPRESSIN AND IN PLASMA VASOPRESSINASE THROUGHOUT HUMAN PREGNANCY.
Metabolic clearance rates (MCR) of arginine vasopressin (AVP) were measured serially in five women starting before conception, during gestational weeks 7-8 (early), 22-24 (middle), and 36-38 (late pregnancy), and again 10-12 wk postpartum. Hormonal disposal [...]
