Plasma renin activity (PRA), angiotensin II and aldosterone levels, arterial blood pressure and heart rate of 6 male students were investigated during and after heat stress in a sauna bath. Increased PRA, angiotensin II and aldosterone levels were found both during and after sauna. The greatest mean increases in PRA (94.9 .+-. 10.4% SE, P < 0.005) and angiotensin II (196 .+-. 54.7% SE, P < 0.02) were observed at the end of the heat stress (at 20 min), and that in plasma aldosterone (505 .+-. 209% SE, P < 0.02) 30 min after the sauna. The heart rate roughly doubled during the heat stress and there was a transient increase followed by a decrease in systolic blood pressure and a decrease in diastolic blood pressure. Intense heat stress can cause remarkable changes in the 3 main components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
