In an attempt to investigate their relationships with plasma volume (PV), heart rate (HR), and other hormonal systems, plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels were determined in response to exercise in the heat, associated with dehydration and rehydration with various fluids. Five normal subjects underwent four 3-h experiments, in a 36 degree C environment, in which 25-min exercise periods on a cycle ergometer at 90 W alternate with 5-min rest periods. Blood samples were collected hourly and ANP, arginine vasopressin (AVP), adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), and cortisol were analyzed in four experimental sessions: without fluid supplement (DH) and with progressive rehydration either with water (W), acid isotonic solution (AISO), or neutral isotonic solution (NISO). Exercise in the heat, accompanied by a decrease in PV and an increase in osmolality, elicited an increase of 28 +/- 1.6 pg/ml in plasma ANP, with concomitant increases in AVP (5.1 +/- 1.4 pg/ml), ACTH (49.6 +/- 12.3 pg/ml), and cortisol (8.4 +/- 2.0 micrograms/100 ml). Progressive rehydration maintained PV and blunted ANP, AVP, ACTH, and cortisol responses. These results demonstrate the importance of rehydration, during exercise in a warm environment, in preventing hormonal increases. They suggest that under our conditions, the PV changes and the inferred atrial pressure changes may not be the primary factors controlling ANP release, as under other physiological conditions. The exercise-related activation of pituitary and adrenals and the stimulation of HR counteract the influence of PV changes due to vascular fluid shifts.
