Endocrine and metabolic alterations with food and water deprivation
1977
(John P.)
Two healthy men were evaluated before and after a 56 day raft voyage to determine endocrine and metabolic status immediately after and during the recovery phase after long term caloric, protein, and water deprivation. Daily intake during the trip consisted of no protein, 300 ml water, and for the first 40 days, 300 Kcal glucose. The subjects lost weight from 84.1 to 58.1 and 78.3 to 57.7 kg, respectively. Other variations were measured including rate of excretion, diurnal patterns, serum testosterone levels, plasma insulin levels, serum glucose concentrations, triglyceride content, liver function, fat and xylsoe absorption, and renal function.
