Background: Aflatoxins are found in the most types of foods such as corn, peanuts, pistachio, rice, milk, and etc. These toxins may cause several adverse health effects, notably cancer. The main aim of this study was to evaluate excretion level of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), as a biomarker of aflatoxin B1 exposure, in urine samples of Iranian population. Also, relationship between diet and urinary exc...

The influence of induced chronic renal failure on 24-hour urinary excretion and fractional excretion of sodium and potassium was studied in cats. Induction of chronic renal failure significantly increased fractional excretion of potassium (P less than 0.0001) and sodium (P less than 0.05); however, 24-hour urinary excretion of sodium and potassium decreased slightly following induction of chron...

BACKGROUND A patient with cystic fibrosis (CF) and repeated calcium oxalate renal stones prompted us to investigate other children for risk factors for this recognised complication of CF. METHODS Twenty four hour urinary excretion of calcium, oxalate, and glycolate was measured in children with CF and no symptoms of renal tract stones. Normal diet and treatments were continued. RESULTS In 2...

This paper examines the potential to use multiple objective programming to reduce nutrient excretion from dairy cows through incorporation of nutrient excretion functions into a ration formulation framework. In a typical ration formulation model, a ration is formulated to minimize cost while providing sucient nutrients to meet the needs of the animal type being fed. To reduce the nutrient load...

The likelihood an individual becomes infected depends on the community in which it is embedded. For environmentally transmitted parasites, host composition can alter density, density of parasites that hosts encounter environment, and dose to are subsequently exposed. While some multi-host theory incorporates these factors (e.g., competition among hosts), does not currently consider nonlinear re...

Several studies have shown an inverse relation between blood pressure and plasma aldosterone levels. Since blood pressure is in part genetically regulated, we looked for evidence that genetic factors might also affect aldosterone production. The nocturnal urinary excretion rate was used to estimate aldosterone production, and electrolyte excretion rates were used to estimate sodium and potassiu...

Ab btract. To study the relationship between vasopressin and the renal kallikrein-kinin system we measured the rate of excretion of kinins into the urine of anesthetized rats during conditions of increased and decreased vasopressin level. The excretion of immunoreactive kinins in Brattleboro rats with hereditary diabetes insipidus (DI) (24±3 pg min-' kg-') was lower than in the control Long Eva...

The excretion rates of renal thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-ketoPGF1 alpha, the stable chemical metabolites of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) respectively, PGE2 and sodium were determined in normal and saline-loaded rats treated with the thromboxane synthetase inhibitor imidazole. In normal rats the administration of imidazole in doses which did not affect renal 6-keto-PGF1 alph...

We investigated in six patients with essential hypertension the effect of a low dose atrial natriuretic factor infusion for 5 days on the diurnal rhythm of renal electrolyte excretion. Atrial natriuretic factor infusion increased the net excretion of sodium and caused a delay in its time of maximal diurnal urinary excretion. Similarly, atrial natriuretic factor caused an increase in the net exc...
