Revisiting the Human Sweat Gland - Does Arginine Vasopressin Modulate Sweat Sodium Concentration Via the V2 Receptor?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating V2R (Vasopressin 2 receptor) for Electrolyte Imbalance and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This primary aim of this study was to critically assess whether or not sweat water content and sodium concentration were acutely regulated by dynamic changes in antidiuretic hormone (arginine vasopressin or AVP) acting on the Vasopressin 2 receptor (V2R) during exercise. Secondary aims were to evaluate running performance and core temperature to further characterize the role of AVP in the coordinated balance of fluid and temperature homeostasis during exercise. The primary hypothesis was that activation of the V2R in sweat glands would result in water reabsorption and fluid conservation during endurance exercise.

Interventions
All ten subjects were used as their own controls in this double-blind, randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of the V2R on sweat sodium concentration via use of a V2R blocker (antagonist), stimulator (agonist), against a placebo (drug naive state).
