Description:
During experimental visits, a blood draw will take place to assess changes in plasma electrolyte concentration, osmolality, hemoglobin, and hematocrit, and coded samples will be stored for future inflammation measures (e.g., CRP and IL-6) in addition to isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for studying immune cell phenotype.
Participants will also be provided with a urine collection container and corresponding form so that they can collect 24 hours of urine to enable the investigators to assess hydration biomarkers and 24-hour electrolyte (sodium, potassium, chloride) excretion, which is also used to assess dietary electrolyte intake to complement food and fluid diaries.
