The effect on body temperature (Tb) regulation of alterations in the osmotic milieu of the intracranial compartment has been examined by intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of water (0.034 ml·min−1) in heat-stressed hydrated and dehydrated cats. At an ambient temperature (Ta) of 38°C, before ICV water infusion, mean Tb (measured in the hypothalamus) of normally hydrated cats was 38.8±0.1°C and mean evaporative water loss (EWL) was 1.32±0.18 W ·kg−1. ICV water infusion was without significant effect (P>0.05,t-test) on either of these values in normally hydrated animals. In dehydrated animals at Ta 38°C, Tb and EWL were both significantly altered (P<0.001) from the normally hydrated state and were measured at 39.9±0.2°C and 0.84±0.09 W·kg−1respectively. Infusion of water into dehydrated animals significantly altered pre-infusion levels of Tb and EWL so that Tb fell to 39.4±0.2°C (P<0.001) and EWL rose to 1.46±0.09 W·kg−1(P<0.001) No effect of ICV water infusion on mean plasma vasopressin levels (pAVP) was observed in normally hydrated animals (preinfusion pAVP = 1.3±0.2 μU·ml−1, post-infusion pAVP = 1.3±0.3 μU·ml−1,P<0.05). However, a significant reduction in pAVP occurred subsequent to infusion in dehydrated animals (pre-infusion pAVP = 16.6±1.85 μU ·ml−1, post-infusion pAVP = 10.7±2.3 μU·ml−1,P<0.05). The results suggest that intracranial sensory elements capable of responding to the concentration of water, or solutes in water, may be involved in the suppression of EWL in dehydrated, heat-stressed animals.
