Hydration during exercise in warm, humid conditions: effect of a caffeinated sports drink.
Caffeine is regarded as a diuretic despite evidence that hydration is not impaired with habitual ingestion. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a caffeinated sports drink impairs fluid delivery and hydration during exercise in warm, humid conditions (28.5 degrees C, 60% relative humidity). Sixteen cyclists completed 3 trials: placebo (P), carbohydrate-electrolyte (CE), [...]
Human water needs.
Healthy humans regulate daily water balance remarkably well across their lifespan despite changes in biological development and exposure to stressors on hydration status. Acute or chronic body water deficits result when intakes are reduced or losses increase, but day-to-day hydration is generally well maintained so long as food and fluid are readily available. Total water [...]
Regulation of the urine concentration mechanism by the oropharyngeal afferent pathway in man.
BACKGROUND: It has been reported that the oropharyngeal afferent pathway behaves as a first-order factor regulating body fluid. However, the neural mechanism has not yet been clear. This study was designed to elucidate the characteristics of the neural mechanism in man. METHODS: Healthy human subjects kept either an isotonic or hypertonic solution in the oral [...]
HOW DOES HYDRATION AFFECT PRETERM LABOR?

The art and science of hydration.
It is understood that water is the most essential nutrient for life, yet research elucidating the fine points of hydration and fluid needs is still in its youth. Public recommendations based on scientific evidence are not always translated by the media into useful and practical guidelines. CONCLUSION: Further research investigating the benefits of all fluids, [...]
Physiology of thirst and drinking: implication for nursing practice.
Thirst and drinking function to maintain body water balance and are basic to survival. Thirst is often associated with a dry unpleasant-tasting mouth and the feeling of a need to obtain water; it can result from dehydration, decreased vascular volume, dry mouth, pharmacologic agents, or inappropriate activation of the thirst mechanism. Drinking involves the motor [...]
THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS FOR OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS: AMNIOINFUSION AND MATERNAL HYDRATION.

Rehydration with a caffeinated beverage during the nonexercise periods of 3 consecutive days of 2-a-day practices.
The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of rehydration with a caffeinated beverage during nonexercise periods on hydration status throughout consecutive practices in the heat. Ten (7 women, 3 men) partially heat- acclimated athletes (age 24 +/-1y, body fat 19.2 +/- 2 %, weight 68.4 +/- 4.0 kg, height 170 +/- 3 [...]
Voluntary dehydration and alliesthesia for water.
The purpose of this experiment was to explore the complex relationship between fluid consumption and consumption factors (thirst, voluntary dehydration, water alliesthesia, palatability, work-rest cycle) during a simulated 14.5-km desert walk (treadmill, 1.34 m X s-1, 5% grade, 40 degrees C dry bulb/26 degrees C wet bulb, and wind speed of approximately 1.2 m X [...]
