Salt Institute Newsletter (STM) Third Quarter 2010 HEAT STRESS AND EXERCISE INCREASE SALT REQUIREMENTS
نویسنده
چکیده
We are in the middle of summer and many parts of the United States are experiencing record high temperatures. It is important to recognize that humans are not the only creatures that suffer from heat. Animals are also affected by heat stress. Heat stress in animals results in depressed feed intake and production (growth, milk production, egg production, etc.) and may even cause death in some instances.

Fluid and fuel intake during exercise.
The amounts of water, carbohydrate and salt that athletes are advised to ingest during exercise are based upon their effectiveness in attenuating both fatigue as well as illness due to hyperthermia, dehydration or hyperhydration. When possible, fluid should be ingested at rates that most closely match sweating rate. When that is not possible or practical or sufficiently ergogenic, some athletes...
متن کاملPrimed polymorphonuclear leukocytes, oxidative stress, and inflammation antecede hypertension in the Sabra rat.
Hypertension is accompanied by systemic oxidative stress, inflammation, and priming of peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs), yet the involvement of these factors in the pathophysiology of hypertension is incompletely understood. We investigated the relationship between oxidative stress, primed PMNLs, and inflammation and the development of hypertension in the Sabra rat model of salt-...
متن کاملThiourea priming enhances salt tolerance through co-ordinated regulation of microRNAs and hormones in Brassica juncea
Activation of stress tolerance mechanisms demands transcriptional reprogramming. Salt stress, a major threat to plant growth, enhances ROS production and affects transcription through modulation of miRNAs and hormones. The present study delineates salt stress ameliorating action of thiourea (TU, a ROS scavenger) in Brassica juncea and provides mechanistic link between redox, microRNA and hormon...
متن کاملReturn to competition following ischemic colitis caused by severe dehydration.
OBJECTIVE This article summarizes a case of ischemic colitis suffered by a triathlete during an Ironman competition. BACKGROUND Exercise results in a significant reduction in splanchnic blood flow to help maintain cardiovascular function. When dehydration and heat stress accompany exercise, blood flow to the splanchnic vasculature is further reduced, increasing the risk of local ischemia and ...
متن کاملEnhancing Arabidopsis salt and drought stress tolerance by chemical priming for its abscisic acid responses.
Drought and salt stress tolerance of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants increased following treatment with the nonprotein amino acid beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA), known as an inducer of resistance against infection of plants by numerous pathogens. BABA-pretreated plants showed earlier and higher expression of the salicylic acid-dependent PR-1 and PR-5 and the abscisic acid (ABA)-depende...
