Why the study?
Does ethanol ingestion alter plasma vasopressin release and water balance in normal human subjects?
Does ethanol ingestion alter plasma vasopressin release and water balance in normal human subjects?
Ethanol inhibits plasma vasopressin release by decreasing the response of osmosodium receptors to changes in plasma tonicity.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May inform fluid considerations with ethanol in healthy subjects; leaves open extension to clinical hyponatremia.
Eisenhofer et al. (1982) studied this question.
