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 total water (TW), extracellular fluid (ECF), and plasma (PV) were determined both on individual tissues and on the whole body [...]

EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATION ON GASTRIC EMPTYING AND GASTROINTESTINAL DISTRESS WHILE RUNNING
Gastrointestinal distress is commonly reported by athletes after ingestion of a beverage. We speculate that ingestion may be occurring after dehydration has taken place. The high prevalence of GI disorders in marathon runners who have lost greater than or equal to 4% body weight supports this theory. To test this theory, the effects of dehydration, [...]
THE RESPONSE OF ARGININE VASOPRESSIN TO INTRAVENOUS ETHANOL AND HYPERTONIC SALINE IN MAN: THE IMPACT OF AGING
The effect of age on the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-renal axis in normal man was determined by assaying plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) responses to inhibitory and to secretory stimuli. Nine young (21-49 years) and 13 old (54-92 years) subjects received IV ethanol (375 mg/m2 per min). AVP levels fell progressively during the infusion in the young group, but [...]
EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON FLUID EXCHANGE AND BODY COMPOSITION IN MAN DURING 14-DAY BED REST
To determine the cause of the body weight loss during bed rest (BR), fluid balance and anthropometric measurements were taken from seven men (19-21 yr) during three 2-wk BR periods which were separated by 3-wk ambulatory recovery periods. Caloric intake was 3,073 +/- 155 (SD) kcal/day. During two of the three BR periods they performed [...]
PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF HYPOHYDRATION: EXERCISE PERFORMANCE AND THERMOREGULATION
During exercise in the heat, sweat output often exceeds water intake, which results in a body water deficit or hypohydration. This water deficit occurs from both the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments, and causes a hypertonic-hypovolemia of the blood. Aerobic exercise tasks are likely to be adversely affected by hypohydration; and the warmer the environment [...]
THERMOREGULATION IN HYPERHYDRATED MEN DURING PHYSICAL EXERCISE
The influence of hyperhydration on thermoregulatory function was tested in 8 male volunteers. The subjects performed cycle exercise in the upright position at 52% Vo2max for 45 min in a thermoneutral (Ta = 23 degrees C) environment. The day after the control exercise the subjects were hyperhydrated with tap water (35 ml X kg-1 of [...]
