Background: Epidemiological studies in humans show increased concentrations of copeptin, a surrogate marker of arginine vasopressin (AVP), to be associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes.
Objectives: To examine the acute and independent effect of osmotically stimulated AVP, measured via the surrogate marker copeptin, on glucose regulation in healthy adults.
Methods: Sixty subjects (30 females) participated in this crossover design study.
Mild hypohydration impairs cycle ergometry performance in the heat: A blinded study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how mild dehydration (hypohydration) affects exercise performance among male cyclists while blinding them to their hydration status.
- Eleven cyclists participated in trials where they cycled in hot conditions, once being properly hydrated (euhydrated) and once mildly dehydrated, while their water intake was controlled.
- Results showed that cyclists performed better (higher power output and speed) when adequately hydrated compared to when mildly dehydrated, indicating that even slight dehydration negatively impacts performance likely due to increased body temperature and strain on the body.
