The effect of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) on transcapillary fluid balance is unknown. Therefore, our objective was to assess leg interstitial fluid pressures (IFP), leg circumference, plasma volume (PV), and net whole body transcapillary fluid transport (TFT) during and after supine LBNP and to evaluate the addition of oral saline ingestion on transcapillary exchange. Six healthy men 23-41 yr old underwent 4 h of 30 mmHg LBNP, followed by 50 min of supine recovery on two separate occasions, once with and once without ingestion of 1 liter of isotonic saline. IFP was measured continuously in subcutis as well as superficial and deep regions of the tibialis anterior muscle by slit catheters. TFT was calculated by subtracting urine production and calculated insensible fluid loss from changes in PV. During exposure to LBNP, IFP decreased in parallel with chamber pressure, foot venous pressure did not change, leg circumference increased by 3 +/- 0.35% (SE) (P < 0.05), and PV decreased by 14 +/- 2.3%. IFP returned to near control levels after LBNP. At the end of minute 50 of recovery, PV remained decreased (by 7.5 +/- 5.2%) and leg circumference remained elevated (by 1 +/- 0.37%). LBNP alone produced significant movement of fluid into the lower body but no net TFT (-7 +/- 12 ml/h). During LBNP with saline ingestion, 72 +/- 4% of the ingested fluid volume filtered out of the vascular space (TFT = 145 +/- 10 ml/h), and PV decreased by 6 +/- 3%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
