Hyperhydration-induced decrease in urinary luteinizing hormone concentrations of Male athletes in doping control analysis by Athanasiadou, Ioanna

“…Baseline urinary LH concentrations, expressed as the mean � SD for each individual, were within the acceptable physiological range (7.11 � 5.42 IU/L). A comparison of the measured LH values for both hyperhydration phases (Phase A: 4.24 � 5.60 IU/L and Phase B: 4.74 � 4.72 IU/L) with the baseline (''normal'') values showed significant differences (Phase A: p < .001 and Phase B: p < .001), suggesting the clear effect of urine dilution due to hyperhydration. …”
