Figure 3.
Local sweating and skin temperature responses throughout the incremental humidity protocol in a control condition without treatment (CON), following diuretic-induced dehydration (DEH), and with continuous saline infusion (SAL). LSRmean, mean local sweat rate (2 sites: forearm, thigh); Tsk, mean skin temperature; Pa, ambient vapour pressure. Analysis was performed up to ~5 kPa (84 min) in seven subjects. Beyond this point, early termination criteria were met at different times. No treatment effect was observed for LSRmean and Tsk.
