  • Title: Influence of hydration state on hormonal responses to exercise in dogs.
    Author: Baker MA, Doris PA, Turlejska E.
    Journal: J Physiol Pharmacol; 1991 Sep; 42(3):305-16. PubMed ID: 1793891.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of these studies was to determine how plasma levels of arginine vasopressin (pAVP) are related to workload, plasma osmolality (pOsm), blood volume (BV) and plasma angiotensin II (pAII) in exercising dogs. Measurements were made in dogs running on a treadmill at 7.5 km. hr-1 at slopes of 0, 10% and 20% when they were hydrated ad lib and when they had been deprived of drinking water and also in dogs running on a 20% slope after an IV infusion of hypertonic NaCl. Dehydration increased pOsm by 6.6% and reduced BV by 10% in resting dogs. In dehydrated animals, pAVP, pAII and pOsm were elevated above hydrated levels at rest and during exercise at all three workloads. In hydrated dogs, pOsm rose during exercise at 10% and 20% slopes but pAVP rose above resting levels only at the highest workload and pAII was not affected by exercise. In dehydrated dogs, pOsm and pAVP rose during exercise at 10% and 20% slopes and pAII was elevated at the 20% slope. BV decreased during exercise at the highest workload in both hydrated and dehydrated animals. After hypertonic NaCl, pAVP rose during exercise but pOsm and pAII did not. The results suggest that both osmotic and nonosmotic factors contribute to the release of AVP in exercising dogs and that exercise leads to a leftward shift in the relationship of pAVP to pOSM which could be a result of reduced blood volume.
