Abstract excerpt
The rise in plasma vasopressin produced by infusion of hypertonic saline varies widely among healthy adults. To determine if these interindividual differences are reproducible, we used linear regression to analyze the relationship of plasma vasopressin to plasma osmolality during repeat hypertoni...
