“…Heat stress generally reduces renal blood flow (Chapman et al., 2019; Minson, Wladkowski, Cardell, Pawelczyk, & Kenney, 1998, 1999; Radigan & Robinson, 1949; Rowell, Brengelmann, Blackmon, & Murray, 1970, 1971) owing to increases in circulating vasopressin concentrations (Wade & Claybaugh, 1980) and increased sympathetic nerve activity (Gisolfi, Matthes, Kregel, & Oppliger, 1991; Vander, 1965; Yoshimoto, Sakagami, Nagura, & Miki, 2004). The reduction in renal blood flow during heat stress may reduce glomerular filtration rate (Kaufmann, Nieth, & Schlitter, 1960; Kenney, 1952; Radigan & Robinson, 1949; Smith, Robinson, & Pearcy, 1952), although this is not always observed, particularly during passive heat exposure (Melin et al., 2001; Traks & Sancetta, 1962). In addition, dehydration that typically accompanies heat stress results in increased aldosterone and vasopressin concentrations that act to stimulate fluid reabsorption, which may (von Ameln, Laniado, Rocker, & Kirsch, 1985) or may not (Melin et al., 2001) reduce urine production.…”
