Summary
This completed study looked at how lean and obese individuals respond to thirst and water deprivation. Researchers gave 75 healthy men a high-salt infusion and a 24-hour water fast, measuring their thirst, hormone levels, and water intake. The goal was to understand if body fat affects water balance, not to test a treatment.
