ADH and thermal sweating.

Sweating responses to heat exposure were compared in healthy subjects pretreated with pitressin or alcohol and in the control group. Between the three groups, there were no consistent differences in the rate of sweating expressed both as a total body weight loss during 2-h heat exposure and in mg of sweat per skin area covered by a paper disc. Likewise, there were no differences in the sweat osmolality or electrolyte concentration. There was also no evidence of inverse correlation between plasma ADH level and rate of sweat secretion or its concentration when pooled data of all subjects were analyzed. It was concluded that ADH did not substantially affect thermal sweating in men.
