Control of excretion of potassium: lessons from studies during prolonged total fasting in human subjects.
A deficit of K+ of close to 300 mmol develops in the first 2 wk of fasting, but little further excretion of K+ occurs, despite high levels of aldosterone and the delivery of ketoacid anions that are not reabsorbed in the distal nephron. Our purpose was to evaluate how aldosterone could have primarily NaCl-retaining, rather than kaliuretic, properties in this setting. To evaluate the role of dis...
متن کاملMetabolism of normothermic woodchucks during prolonged fasting.
The energy metabolism of hibernators has not been characterized for normothermic fasting, and our goal was to quantify oxidative fuel selection of non-hibernating woodchucks Marmota monax during prolonged food deprivation. Indirect calorimetry and nitrogen excretion measurements were used to assess changes in metabolic rate (VO2), fuel selection and composition of nitrogen wastes, as well as se...

متن کاملTotal fasting, hyperuricaemia and gout.
The purpose of this communication is to draw attention to the apparently harmless hyperuricaemia which results from treating obese patients by total fasting. In such patients there is a progressive fall in the glomerular filtration rate during the fasting period resulting in the renal retention of urate (Murphy & Shipman, 1964). In addition there is competition between the ketone bodies and ura...
متن کاملLaboratory selection for the comparative physiologist.
An increasingly popular experimental approach in comparative physiology is to study the evolution of physiological traits in the laboratory, using microbial, invertebrate and vertebrate models. Because selective conditions are well-defined, selected populations can be replicated and unselected control populations are available for direct comparison, strong conclusions regarding the adaptive val...
