Abstract

pret. The discovery of the usefulness of tritiated water (TOH) in measurement of total body water (Pace et al. 1947) has offered a practical method for the study of daily water exchange. This technique has been verified in man (Pinson and Langham 1957) and in several other mammalian species (Reid, Balch, and Glascock 1958; Richmond, Langham, and Trujillo 1962; Holleman and Dieterich 1973; Yousef 1973). Using TOH, one can measure the rate of body water utilized per day including water imbibed, food water, and metabolic water.
