Acute hemodynamic effects of salted potato chips in healthy people

Acute Hemodynamic Effects of Dopamine

The hemodynamic effects of dopamine were studied in 62 patients with clinical shock. In 36 patients with infection dopamine increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) 30%, and cardiac output (CO) 37%. Urine flow (UF) increased from 0.5 ml/min to 1.6 ml/min. Norepinephrine (NE) in 26 patients resulted in a higher MAP, lower CO, and similar UF. Isoproterenol (Isp) in 19 patients resulted in a lower M...

Acute renal tubular and hemodynamic effects of the calcium antagonist felodipine in healthy volunteers.

To evaluate the renal tubular effects of felodipine in a low (1.25-mg) and a high (10-mg) dose, lithium clearance was measured and related to renal hemodynamics in 10 healthy volunteers. After felodipine (1.25 mg), mean blood pressure decreased 4 mm Hg and heart rate increased 4 beats per minute. GFR and renal hemodynamics were unaltered. Natriuresis and diuresis increased and lithium clearance...

Low-acrylamide French fries and potato chips

SUMMARY Acrylamide is produced in starchy foods that are baked, roasted or fried at high temperatures. Concerns about the potential health issues associated with the dietary intake of this reactive compound led us to reduce the accumulation of asparagine, one of its main precursors, in the tubers of potato (Solanum tuberosum). This metabolic change was accomplished by silencing two asparagine s...

Transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (nitroglycerin) in healthy persons: acute effects on skin temperature and hemodynamic orthostatic response.

In order to find an explanation for individual reactions to transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) we studied the skin temperature and hemodynamic reactions in 63 healthy persons. The data were obtained before and after the application of GTN and Glycerin (GL) placebo patches, during one hour. The skin temperature was measured on both forearms, the local (left sided) and systemic (right sided) r...
