INORGANIC SALT METABOLISM

Studies in Inorganic Metabolism

Although considerable data have been gathered on the metabolism of the ash constituents, the literature concerning the interrelations between calcium and magnesium metabolism is very limited. This experiment was undertaken to ascertain whether an increased intake of calcium would affect the urinary and fecal excretion of magnesium and eice r’ersn, thus showing intcrrclations between the metabol...

Fetal Bile Salt Metabolism

Comparison with the results of similar experiments in adult dogs showed that the fetal liver was almost as efficient as the adult liver in the uptake, conjugation, and excretion of tracer amounts of cholate-"C. The maximal rate of excretion of radiolabel attained by the fetus was somewhat slower than in the adult (82.8 ±1.4% and 96.1 ±4.0% [mean +SE] of the infusion rate, respectively), and the...

Fetal bile salt metabolism. The intestinal absorption of bile salt.

The intestinal absorption of sodium taurocholate was studied in the near-term fetal and neonatal dog. Absorption rates were measured in vivo in isolated loops of fetal jejunum and ileum. Absorption was also measured in vitro in everted sacs and rings of fetal and neonatal jejunum and ileum. The maximal rates of taurocholate absorption observed after instillation of 1 micronmol taurocholate into...

Measurement for Surface Tension of Aqueous Inorganic Salt

Bubble columns are effective means of filtration in filtered containment venting systems. Here, the surface tension has a significant influence on bubble size distribution and bubble deformation, which have a strong impact on the behavior of the bubble column. The influence of aqueous inorganic compounds on the surface tension depends on the electrolytic activity, Debye length, entropy of ion h...
