Effect of inspiratory-phase negative pressure breathing on urine flow in man.
1992
: We investigated the effect of negative pressure breathing during the inspiratory phase only (intermittent NPB) in 9 healthy male subjects who were in a sitting position and had no food or fluid intake for 12 h before the study. Intermittent NPB was without effect on urine flow and urinary sodium excretion but caused a significant increase in creatinine clearance. Plasma renin activity was significantly reduced, whereas plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH), atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), and aldosterone levels were unaffected. To determine whether the blunted urinary response to intermittent NPB was a postural phenomenon, the study was repeated in 6 of the subjects while supine. Under these conditions there was a significant increase in urine flow and plasma ANF levels, but no change in all other measured variables. These results are consistent with a role for ANF, but not ADH, in the diuresis seen in supine subjects during NPB.
