Fluid volume measurements in normal subjects to disclose body hydration during acute bed rest.

Measuring intercompartmental, blood and urinary biochemical parameters during acute bed rest (ABR) and rigorous bed rest (RBR) the aim of this work was to disclose if ABR or RBR could influence significantly more and significantly faster the body hydration level in normal subjects. Studies conducted during pre-bed rest (BR) period of 3-days and during 7-days period of ABR and RBR. Thirty normal male individuals 24.

Fluid volume compartments and biochemical measurements for disclosing fluid depletion during acute and rigorous bed rest in normal subjects.

Rigorous bed rest (RBR) induces fluid depletion, however, little is known about the mechanisms of development of fluid depletion during acute bed rest (ABR). Measuring fluid retention and body hydration parameters, the aim of this study was to establish whether ABR than RBR could depress significantly more fluid retention contributing to greater fluid depletion development. Studies were conducted during pre bed rest (BR) period of three days and during seven days period of ABR and RBR.

Fluid distribution measurement between body compartments in primates in disclosing fluid retention during prolonged hypokinesia.

Body fluid homeostasis undergoes significant changes during hypokinesia (diminished movement). Understanding of fluid transfer between body fluid compartments and its regulating mechanisms was the aim of this study for disclosing impaired fluid retention during hypokinesia (HK). Studies were done on 12 male Macaca mulatta (rhesus monkeys) aged three to five years (5.

Phosphate determination during hypokinesia and ambulation in establishing phosphate changes in trained and untrained subjects.

Hypokinesia (diminished movement) induces phosphate (P) changes; however, it is not known if P change is greater in trained than untrained subjects. Measuring P balance and P retention during hypokinesia (HK) and P load, we studied if changes in P retention and P depletion were significantly (p<0.05) greater in trained than untrained subjects.

Fluid and salt supplementation effect on body hydration and electrolyte homeostasis during bed rest and ambulation.

Bed rest (BR) induces significant urinary and blood electrolyte changes, but little is known about the effect of fluid and salt supplements (FSS) on catabolism, hydration and electrolytes. The aim was to measure the effect of FSS on catabolism, body hydration and electrolytes during BR. Studies were done during 7 days of a pre-bed rest period and during 30 days of a rigorous bed rest period.

Effect of fluid and salt supplementation on body hydration of athletes during prolonged hypokinesia.

Body hydration decreases significantly during hypokinesia (HK) (diminished movement), but little is known about the effect of fluid and salt supplements (FSS) on body hydration during HK. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of FSS on body hydration during HK. Studies were done during 30 days pre HK period and 364 days HK period.

Biochemical and hemodynamic changes in normal subjects during acute and rigorous bed rest and ambulation.

Rigorous bed rest (RBR) induces significant biochemical and circulatory changes. However, little is known about acute rigorous bed rest (ARBR). Measuring biochemical and circulatory variables during ARBR and RBR the aim of this study was to establish the significance of ARBR effect.

Magnesium deposition and depletion in magnesium supplemented rats during and after hypokinesia and vivarium control.

Hypokinesia (diminished movement) induces significant magnesium (Mg) changes; however, little is known about Mg deposition and Mg depletion during HK. Measuring the Mg level in some tissues during HK and post-HK and Mg supplement, we aimed to establish Mg deposition and Mg depletion during prolonged HK. Studies were done on 408, 13-wk-old male Wistar rats (370-390 g) for a 15-d pre-HK period, a 98-d HK period, and a 15-d post-HK period.

Phosphate deposition capacity of athletes during hypokinesia, phosphate loading, and ambulation.

Hypokinesia (diminished movement) induces significant phosphate (P) excretion; however, little is known about the P deposition ability of the body during hypokinesia (HK). Using P loads, the aim of this study was to establish the deposition ability of the body to retain P during prolonged HK. Studies were done during a 30-d period of pre-HK and a 364-d period of HK.

Measurements in potassium-supplemented athletes during and after hypokinetic and ambulatory conditions.

Hypokinesia (diminished movement) induces significant potassium (K) changes; however, little is known about K deposition and deficiency during hypokinesia (HK). Using K supplements during and after HK, the aim was to establish body K deposition and K deficiency during HK. Studies were done during the pre-HK period of 30 d, HK period of 364 d, and post-HK period of 30 d.
