“…Specifically, the rate of evaporative water loss is reduced following thermally induced dehydration in many species, including humans (84-86, 221,227), dogs (19), camels (217), goats (17), and cats (18,72). In addition, peak cutaneous vasodilation is reduced in dehydrated humans (86) and nonhuman primates (250) but not in sodium-depleted baboons (190). Fortney et al (84) showed that the esophageal temperature (T,,) threshold for cutaneous vasodilation increased after isotonic hypovolemia induced by diuretics and that the increase in sweat rate per unit increase in T,, was also attenuated.…”
