Neuroendocrine Control of Body Fluid Metabolism

Neuroendocrine control of body fluid metabolism.

Mammals control the volume and osmolality of their body fluids from stimuli that arise from both the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. These stimuli are sensed by two kinds of receptors: osmoreceptor-Na+ receptors and volume or pressure receptors. This information is conveyed to specific areas of the central nervous system responsible for an integrated response, which depends ...

Body fluid identification in forensics.

Determination of the type and origin of the body fluids found at a crime scene can give important insights into crime scene reconstruction by supporting a link between sample donors and actual criminal acts. For more than a century, numerous types of body fluid identification methods have been developed, such as chemical tests, immunological tests, protein catalytic activity tests, spectroscopi...

Body fluid compartments in hypertension.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There is a correlation between the fluid and ionic homeostasis and blood pressure but it is not known if these body fluid changes represent the cause or rather the effect of the blood pressure rise. We have estimated the compartmental distribution of body fluids by means of the Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) analysis in a hypertensive cohort compared to control subjec...

Body fluid composition.

UNLABELLED Body fluid composition is maintained in a normal physiologic range by regulatory mechanisms that control sodium and water metabolism. A detailed knowledge of the homeostatic mechanisms will help in understanding the pathogenesis and management of disorders of sodium and water balance. OBJECTIVES After completing this article, readers should be able to: 1. Understand the distributio...
