- Summary:
- The authors review five issues related to body fluid balance during heat stress in humans: water balance during heat stress, methodological limitations, body fluid compartments, control of body fluid balance during dehydration, and heat acclimatization. The discussion about methodological limitations includes estimation of the absolute size of the body fluid compartments and estimates of relative changes in body fluid compartments. The discussion about body fluid compartments includes effects of acute heat stress and dehydration. The discussion about control of body fluid balance during dehydration examines sweat gland function, kidney function, and hormonal control of renal function including antidiuretic hormone, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, catecholamines, and atrial peptides. The discussion about heat acclimatization includes expansion of body fluid compartments, the mechanism of plasma volume expansion, and salt conservation in sweat gland.
