The effect of ACTH, adrenaline, noradrenaline, insulin, parathormone, hydrocortisone,and glucagonon the homeostaticmechanismcontrolling serum glucose,citrate, calcium, phosphorus,and potassium was studied in fasting rabbits and children. Citrate levelsare kept in balancebyACTH, adrenaline,and glucagon,which raisethe levels,and by insulin,which lowers them. Stressalone raisescitrate levels,proba...

The anion of the title compound, also called sygethin dihydrate, 2K(+)·C(18)H(20)O(6)S(2) (2-)·2H(2)O, has crystallographic inversion symmetry. The K(+) cation is surrounded by eight O atoms in a distorted cubic coordination geometry, forming extended K-O-S networks. There are also O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Background: A very strict control of urinary pH is recommended to maintain it between 5.5 and 6.2, preventing formation or recurrence crystals. Kidney stones are a common problem, with high rate recurrence, not altered by the success surgery. Medical treatment prevents recurrence. Potassium Citrate inhibits crystallization calcium salts. It influences calculogenesis increasing citrates alkalini...

The effect of various cardioplegic procedures on the myocardial oxygen consumption was investigated by the direct method of Warburg. Potassium citrate and Young's solution markedly enhanced the oxygen consumption of the heart muscle of both normal and low temperature groups. Acetylcholine and adenosine triphosphate in a low concentration slightly increased the oxygen consumption, but higher con...

RATIONALE Urinary lithiasis is one of severe postoperative complications in patients undergoing renal transplantation, possibly leading to anuria, urinary infection, or even acute renal failure. Potassium sodium hydrogen citrate (PSHC), a potassium-bearing citrate, is commonly prescribed to prevent stone formation. PATIENT CONCERNS A 25-year-old man (patient 1) and a 31-year-old man (patient ...

OBJECTIVE Bread is a staple of the Mediterranean diet but contributes substantially to its salt content (19 % in Spain). The objective of the present study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of salt reduction in partially baked breads, partly replacing salt (NaCl) with a potassium salt, with subsequent follow-up. DESIGN During 2013, nine breads already on the market (1·8 % NaCl f...

Plasma electrolyte, intermediary metabolite, and hormone concentrations were measured in samples of 110 units of citrate phosphate dextrose blood being used for clinical transfusions. The most important changes from the physiological range were in sodium, potassium, glucose, and lactate concentrations. Mean sodium concentrations fell from 170 mmol/l at the beginning of storage to 156 mmol/l at ...

Most biological fluids contain both neutral and acid alpha-glucosidase. Optimal conditions were therefore developed for the selective determination of the activity of neutral and acid alpha-glucosidase, using 2-step, discontinuous assays. In the first step of the assay of neutral alpha-glucosidase, glucose was liberated from maltose (citrate-phosphate buffer, pH 6.8, 20 mmol/l maltose, 25 mmol/...

Recommended Reference Value Standards based on the potassium hydrogenphthalate buffer at various temperatures are reported for pH measurements in various binary solvent mixtures of water with eight organic solvents: methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, 1,2-ethanediol, 2-methoxyethanol (“methylcellosolve”), acetonitrile, 1,4-dioxane, and dimethylsulphoxide, together with Reference Value Standards base...
