    Abstract:
    The effect of humid heat (Ta = 43 degrees C, Pa = 32 Torr) on sweat rate, plasma renin activity and plasma levels of aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) was studied in four male subjects before and after repeated heat exposures. Over-sweating and sweat drippage followed by hidromeiosis were observed in three subjects during initial heat exposure. With repeated humid heat exposures increased sweat rates were accompanied by a more intense sweat depression (hidromeiosis) in all four subjects. In our conditions, no changes in plasma levels of aldosterone and ADH or plasma renin activity were observed with hidromeiosis. Plasma renin activity was slightly depressed by repeated exposures, whereas plasma volumes were enhanced, with no significant changes in plasma Na or K. The results suggest that neither ADH nor the components of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system are involved in the hidromeiotic phenomenon.
