INTRODUCTION Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are a major contributor to children's added sugar consumption. This study examines whether children's SSB and water intakes are associated with diet quality and total energy intake. METHODS Using data on children aged 2-18 years from the 2009-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, linear regression models were used to analyze SSB a...

Both systemically administered furosemide and isoproterenol produce water intake (i.e., thirst). Curiously, however, in light of the endocrine and hemodynamic effects produced by these treatments, they are remarkably ineffective in eliciting intake of hypertonic saline solutions (i.e., operationally defined as sodium appetite). Recent work indicates that bilateral injections of the serotonin re...

INTRODUCTION Recent legislation requires schools to provide free drinking water in food service areas (FSAs). Our objective was to describe access to water at baseline and student water intake in school FSAs and to examine barriers to and strategies for implementation of drinking water requirements. METHODS We randomly sampled 24 California Bay Area public schools. We interviewed 1 administra...

Article history: Received 15 December 2009 Received in revised form 4 July 2010 Accepted 7 July 2010 The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between water, feed intake, relative body weight loss, and the weaning weight of piglets of lactating sows and to analyse the curves of water and feed intake. Data recording was performed on the Hohenschulen research farm of the In...

Good hydration is vital for good health and well-being. Until recently, there was little interest in collecting data on water and drink and beverage intake. However, there is increasing evidence that a low water intake or mild dehydration may be linked with the risk of chronic diseases. Accurate estimates of intake in populations are essential to explore these relationships. This will enable th...

abstract one of the most important sources of drinking and agricultural water needs is rivers. one of the oldest methods of getting water from rivers that still has the greatest use is the gravity intake. in this type of intake, due to the disproportionate velocity at the upstream and downstream mouth of intake, occur flow separation and following sedimentation at the upstream mouth. in this st...

Weisinger, R. S., J. R. Blair-West, P. Burns, and D. A. Denton. Intracerebroventricular infusion of angiotensin II increases water and ethanol intake in rats. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R162–R172, 1999.—The influence of prolonged ingestion of ethanol on stimulation of water or ethanol intake by intracerebroventricular infusion of ANG II was evaluated in rats...

Peptides isolated from atrial extracts possess potent natriuretic and diuretic activities. In general, these peptides, called atrial natriuretic factors (ANFs), oppose the actions of the water-conservatory peptides angiotensin II and vasopressin and are released from the heart in response to atrial stretch as a consequence of increased venous return. The recent description of ANF-like immunorea...

The effect of dosing identical amounts of sodium chloride, via 2 different routes, on feed intake and water and electrolyte balance was investigated in sheep. Feed intake and plasma sodium concentrations were unaffected by salt loading, while water intake, fractional turnover of body water, plasma and urine potassium concentrations and urine sodium concentration changed significantly from contr...
