Young female pigs weighing from 15 to 45 kg were used. Plasma osmolality was slowly raised by an intravenous infusion of 15% NaCl. The behavioral threshold was when the pigs began to drink water, and the rise of osmolality was the stimulus. In 23 measurements on 8 pigs the rise of osmolality to initiate drinking was 10.4 +/- 1.4 mosmol/kg (mean +/- SE). There was also an estimated 3.8 +/- 1.4% rise of blood volume. Control infusions of 0.9% NaCl for 1 h usually resulted in no drinking, and plasma osmolality fell by 6.7 +/- 2.1 mosmol/kg, while blood volume did not change. Hypovolemia was effected using furosemide (1 mg/kg body wt) to cause excretion of nearly isotonic urine. Blood volume changes were estimated from plasma protein and packed cell volume data. In 28 measurements on 6 pigs, drinking occurred when blood volume had decreased by 6.7 +/- 1.8%. During 2-h control periods, blood volume did not change appreciably. Plasma osmolality decreased during both the furosemide treatment (by 3.5 +/- 0.7 mosmol/kg) and the controls (by 4.1 +/- 0.8 mosmol/kg).

1. It has been shown in vitro that serial measurements of blood water during ultrafiltration accurately reflect changing blood volume. 2. It has been shown that minute changes in blood hydration produce detectable changes in blood viscosity. 3. An ‘in-line’ capillary viscometer has been constructed which can be placed in parallel with an extracorporeal circuit to give a continuous semi-quantitative measure of blood viscosity during ultrafiltration or haemodialysis. By making serial measurements of blood water each ‘viscometer curve’ can be corrected to permit calculation of blood volume provided that the starting blood volume is known. 4. Blood volume changes of less than 1% can be detected in vitro and provided that blood volume changes solely as a result of the removal or influx of water it can be measured continuously to within an accuracy of 4% for volume changes up to 30% irrespective of starting packed cell volume or blood water.

The relative importance of plasma osmolality (Posm) and left atrial pressure (LAP) as controllers of plasma vasopressin concentration (PAVP) was investigated in conscious dogs (n = 8). New techniques for the continuous measurement of LAP and computerized data collection permitted monitoring of LAP and mean arterial pressure (MAP) while Posm was suppressed with intravenous distilled water and then elevated with hypertonic NaCl. PAVP was determined by radioimmunoassay. This relationship between Posm and PAVP was determined at low, normal, and high (-0.9 +/- 0.8, 1.8 +/- 0.8, and 7.7 +/- 1.1 cmH2O, respectively) levels of LAP produced by either hemorrhage or autotransfusion of whole blood. MAP was not altered by these maneuvers. The results of these short-term studies have demonstrated a significant modulation of the osmoregulation of PAVP by changes in blood volume as indexed by LAP. Because of this modulation, PAVP is regulated so that contraction or expansion of the blood volume is more expeditiously corrected than would occur if osmoreceptors alone regulated plasma vasopressin.

Ten young female pigs were allowed to eat and drink whenever they wanted, and blood samples were taken without disturbance to the pig. Samples were divided into four categories: 1) base line, i.e., taken when not drinking and not eating; 2) preprandial, i.e., taken when starting to drink just before eating; 3) postcibal, i.e., taken when starting to drink after any eating; and 4) nonprandial, i.e., taken when starting to drink but not in association with eating. Osmolality (mosmol/kgH2O), plasma protein (g/dl), and packed cell volume (%) were, respectively, as follows (mean +/- SE): base line 294.9 +/- 1.8, 6.2 +/- 0.1, and 30.0 +/- 1.2; preprandial 295.1 +/- 1.7, 6.1 +/- 0.2, and 29.7 +/- 1.4; postcibal 295.0 +/- 3.3, 6.5 +/- 0.2, and 31.7 +/- 1.3; and nonprandial 295.2 +/- 1.4, 6.3 +/- 0.1, and 30.0 +/- 1.3. None of the parameters associated with drinking were significantly different from base-line parameters, except for the postcibal rise of packed cell volume. Calculated blood volume differences from base line were as follows: preprandial 0.7 +/- 1.2% fall; postcibal 0.2 +/- 1.7% increase; and nonprandial 0.8 +/- 0.9% fall. It is unlikely that either plasma hypertonicity or hypovolemia stimulates drinking under spontaneous conditions.
