Response of normal subjects to prolonged high fluid intake

In order to test the hypothesis that the great variability seen in the serum osmolality characteristic of different normal persons is a result of fluid intake habits, four healthy male subjects ingested increasing amounts of fluid over a 4-week period reaching an average daily intake of approximately 8.5 liters during the 4th week. Serum osmolality measured repeatedly in the early morning and during weekly 6.5-hr water-deprivation tests did not vary significantly from that of control periods. It is concluded that in normal individuals fluid intake does not influence the "setting" of serum solute concentration.
