STUDIES IN INORGANIC BLOOD PHOSPHATE

Normal Variations of the Inorganic Phosphate of Blood.

Inorganic Phosphate Homeostasis

to transport Pi according to the dietary Pi: TRPt was always higher, for a given [Pt]P1, in the animals fed low than in those fed higher Pi diets. This diet-induced modification also occurred in the absence of thyroparathyroid glands, in the presence of the same calcemia and urinary pH, and during marked extracellular volume expansion. A time-course study in rats TPTX both before and during the...

Inorganic phosphate homeostasis in sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter Npt2b⁺/⁻ mice.

An inorganic phosphate (P(i))-restricted diet is important for patients with chronic kidney disease and patients on hemodialysis. Phosphate binders are essential for preventing hyperphosphatemia and ectopic calcification. The sodium-dependent P(i) (Na/P(i)) transport system is involved in intestinal P(i) absorption and is regulated by several factors. The type II sodium-dependent P(i) transport...

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...

Unveiling extracellular inorganic phosphate signals from blood in human cardiac 31P NMR spectra.

31P NMR spectra of the human heart are usually contaminated by signals that originate from blood. The main blood signals are 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), which overlap and sometimes obscure the signal of myocardial inorganic phosphate used to calculate intracellular pH and to monitor metabolic changes in the heart. In this work we demonstrate, first, that even without proton decoupling the...
