The unfolding of ribonuclease A by urea, guanidine hydrochloride, lithium perchlorate, lithium chloride, and lithium bromide has been followed by circular dichroic and difference spectral measurements. All three abnormal tyrosyl residues are normalized in urea and guanidine hydrochloride (delta epsilon 287 = -2700), only two are normalized in lithium bromide and lithium perchlorate (delta epsil...

BACKGROUND Analyzing 24-h urine for lithium after consumption of lithium-tagged foods or supplements provides a validated compliance marker but is laborious. OBJECTIVE Most studies involve blood sampling; therefore, we tested whether serum lithium concentration could be used as a compliance marker. DESIGN We used serum lithium as a compliance marker in a dietary trial and an evaluation stud...

Lithium was investigated for its possible use as a marker for identifying the various sources of NaCl in the diet. Micromolar concentrations of lithium can be detected in various vegetables, tap water and also in urine specimens of adult volunteers. The lithium content of vegetables varied from 6.1 to 24.5 mumol of lithium/kg dry weight, with the exception of spinach and aubergines which had mu...

LITHIuM, the lightest metal, has an atomic weight of seven and closely resembles sodium chemically. The ion is toxic and there are no therapeutic uses for lithium salts. Good (1903) quoted investigations of nearly twenty years previously in animals, where intravenous lithium salts depressed the heart's action and caused a fall in blood pressure. The dose of lithium salts necessary to stop the h...

In a study RBC-Plasma lithium ratios in manic patients treated with lithium we found that lithium responders had higher lithium ratios than lithium non-responders. There was, however, no cut off value which could differentiate lithium responders from non-responders.

Lithium cation is the charge carrier in lithium-ion battery. Electrolyte solution in lithium-ion battery is usually based on mixed solvents consisting of polar carbonates with different aliphatic chains. Despite various experimental evidences indicating that lithium ion forms a rigid and stable solvation sheath through electrostatic interactions with polar carbonates, both the lithium solvation...
