Since all individuals will begin the experiment in a slightly dehydrated state there will be high levels of Anti diuretic hormone and aldosterone, ANP levels on the other hand will be at a reduced level. We will test four different conditions during the experiment, continued dehydration, consumption of water, coke and Gatorade. All of these conditions will cause a shift in various aspects of homeostasis and will require compensation from the body through the renal system. The consumption of…
