PEAK RATES OF DIERESIS IN HEALTHY HUMANS DURING ORAL FLUID OVERLOAD.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether rates of intestinal fluid absorption and renal diuresis can match high rates of fluid ingestion in healthy humans exposed to oral fluid overload, thereby preventing the development of hyponatraemia either by [...]
FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE BALANCE: EFFECTS ON THERMOREGULATION AND EXERCISE IN THE HEAT
During exercise, sweat output often exceeds water intake, producing a water deficit or hypohydration. The water deficit lowers both intracellular and extracellular fluid volumes, and causes a hypotonic-hypovolemia of the blood. Aerobic exercise tasks are [...]
EFFECT OF WATER INGESTION ON ENDURANCE CAPACITY DURING PROLONGED RUNNING
This study examined the influence of water ingestion on endurance capacity during submaximal treadmill running. Four men and four women with a mean (+/-S.E.) age of 21.4 +/- 0.7 years, height of 169 +/- 2 [...]
DISTRIBUTION OF WATER LOSSES AMONG FLUID COMPARTMENTS OF TISSUES UNDER THERMAL DEHYDRATION IN THE RAT
Dehydration amounting to about 10% of body weight was induced in adult male rats by exposure to a hot, dry environment (D.B.T., 36 degrees C; R.H., 20%) over 6 to 8 hr. The volumes of [...]
