Measure
1/Placebo, V2R Agonist, V2R Antagonist
This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial in which all ten subjects participated in three trials under three separate pharmacological interventions: V2R antagonist, agonist and placebo conditions. A standardized exercise protocol was performed in the laboratory, separated by one week. Each subject served as his or her own control and the key which identified which intervention was utilized in the exact order (all tablets customized to appear identical) was unlocked only after data collection was completed. Therefore, all ten subjects participated in a total of thirty intervention exercise trials after the initial treadmill familiarization trial was completed. V2R (Vasopressin 2 receptor): 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).

Measurement of blood sodium concentration will determine if normonatremia (blood sodium concentrations within the normal physiological range of 135-145mmol/L) were maintained throughout the trial with appropriate fluid intake during the V2R antagonist, agonist and placebo intervention trials.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 trials (4 weeks)

Measurement of salivary sodium concentration will allow us to determine if the V2R antagonist, agonist and placebo interventions activate aquaporin-5 (AQP5) water channels that are also located in sweat glands. If the V2R acts on the sweat glands through AQP5, there should be parallel changes in sweat, urine and saliva sodium concentrations with each pharmaceutical intervention.
