Objective: To identify whether saliva flow rate, total protein concentration and osmolality are sensitive non-invasive markers of whole body hydration status, we compared changes in these parameters with changes in body mass during progressive acute dehydration. Design: Twelve euhydrated mates reported to the laboratory following an overnight fast and cycled on a stationary ergometer at 60% maximal. oxygen uptake in an environmental chamber (30degreesC and 70% RH) until progressive body mass toss (BML) of 1.1 +/- 0.0, 2.0 +/- 0.0 and 2.9 +/- 0.2%. After exercise, subjects were given a volume of carbohydrate electrolyte solution equivalent to 150% BML to consume within 1 h. Unstimulated whole saliva samples were collected over a 2 min period into pre-weighed tubes at pre-exercise, 1.1, 2.0 and 2.9% BML and then at 75, 135 and 195 min post-exercise. Results: Sativa total protein concentration and osmolality increased and flow rate decreased (P < 0.01) during dehydration. Sativa total protein concentration and osmolality correlated strongly with % BML during dehydration (mean r = 0.97 and 0.94, respectively: P < 0.01). The correlation for sativa total protein concentration with % BML was greater (P < 0.05) than the correlation for saliva flow rate with % BML (mean r = -0.88: P < 0.01) during dehydration. Conclusions: These data show that changes in saliva total protein concentration and osmolality, and to a lesser extent flow rate, are strongly associated with changes in body mass during progressive acute dehydration.
