yes thts wht the book says but i can never understand it to be hypotonic loss,as there is loss of water & salt,it should be isotonic loss,as during sweating we r always recommended to drink salt dissolved in water,if it is hypotonic then only water should help to replace the loss....can u explain it to me plz?

Most sweat glands are eccrine glands and Eccrine sweat is an ultrafiltrate of plasma forming a colorless, hypotonic solution that is 99% water and 1% solutes including sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, urea, ammonia, uric acid and phosphorus. Aldosterone increases the reabsorption of sodium from sweat.
So sweat is hypotonic not isotonic and i ve never heard recommended to drink salt dissolved in water when sweating :roll: :wink:

hi oddissy4u 
reference source for all these above are some web pages i ve searched for sweating glands...
i find the knowledges from both american academy of dermatology (www.aad.org) and www.sweating.net...and read lots of other pages from different web sites telling that sweat is hypotonic solution... :oops:
