GALLBLADDER DYNAMICS AND PLASMA CHOLECYSTOKININ RESPONSES AFTER MEALS, ORAL WATER, OR SHAM FEEDING IN HEALTHY SUBJECTS

To investigate the mechanisms controlling human gallbladder contraction, especially to determine the role of neural factors, the gallbladder response to various stimuli was evaluated in eight normal subjects using realtime ultrasonography. In addition, plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) levels were measured using a region-specific antibody (OAL 656). Intramuscular injections of CCK-8 and of cerulein induced mean maximal [...]

EFFECTS OF FLUID, ELECTROLYTE AND SUBSTRATE INGESTION ON ENDURANCE CAPACITY

The availability of carbohydrate (CHO) as a substrate for the exercising muscles is known to be a limiting factor in the performance of prolonged cycle exercise, and provision of exogenous CHO in the form of glucose can increase endurance capacity. The present study examined the effects of ingestion of fluids and of CHO in different [...]

INGESTION OF COLD FLUIDS: RELATED TO ONSET OF ARRHYTHMIAS?

Although the results of this study provide too limited a database for establishing definitive guidelines for practice, they underscore the need for critical care nurses to focus observations on patients' responses to iced fluid restriction. It is important to determine whether and to what extent limiting ingestion of iced fluids induces patient stress, a factor [...]

EFFECT OF SALT INTAKE ON RENAL EXCRETION OF WATER IN HUMANS

Two studies were performed to determine the quantitative relationship between salt intake and urinary volume (U(v)) in humans. In study 1, 104 untreated hypertensives were studied on the fifth day of a high- and a low-salt diet. The 24-hour U(v) was 2.2 L (urinary sodium [U(Na)] 277 mmol) on the high-salt diet and decreased to [...]

IMPACT OF BEVERAGE ACCEPTABILITY ON FLUID INTAKE DURING EXERCISE

These two studies investigated the impact of beverage acceptability on voluntary fluid intake during exercise and the subsequent impact of exercise on the perception and liking of beverages. In Experiment 1, 49 triathletes and runners first tasted an array of 10 commercially available flavors of a 6% carbohydrate-electrolyte drink (CE) and water (W) to determine [...]

HEAT WAVES: THEIR IMPACT ON THE HEALTH OF ELDERS

A trend toward more hot and humid summers in the United States raises concern for the health of our elderly population. Older adults are more vulnerable to heat illness than younger people because of dysfunctional thermoregulatory mechanisms, chronic dehydration, medications, and diseases involving the systems that regulate body temperature. Heat exhaustion, if untreated, will lead [...]
