The Accumulation of Electrolytes Vii. Organic Electrolytes

I t has been suggested that potassium may enter Valonia chiefly as KOH which reacts with an organic acid HA in the sap to form KA, after which A is exchanged for chloride so that potassium accumulates as'KC1. This is not contradicted by any known facts and it is supported by a variety of evidence; inasmuch as this has recently been discussed I it need not be cited here. Other cations may act si...

Obtaining and interpreting blood gases and electrolytes is fundamental to the management of many critically ill veterinary patients. Metabolic and electrolyte alterations are common, and can lead to profound clinical signs affecting many organs (including the heart, skeletal muscle, intestines and the lungs); when severe, death can ensue. This is the second of two articles describing the interp...

Electrolytes in Biological Systems

This Seventeenth Growth Symposium volume is comprised of papers presented in June of 1958. As stated in the foreword, the theme of the conference was that of "Differentiation and growth in response to a changing chemical environment." As Dr. Rudnick points out, and as is all too obvious, this permits an extremely wide range of papers. Subjects and authors are: (1) Wilde-Differentiation in respo...

Intracellular Electrolytes in Children

Graham, J. A., and Scobie, W. G. (1970). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 45, 473. Muscle biopsy measurement of body water and intracellular electrolytes in children. Body water and electrolytes have been measured in normal infants and children using a muscle biopsy technique. Extracellular water, sodium, and chloride contents per kilogram dry weight are high in infancy but fall to adult value...
