The serum uric acid concentration in normal healthy subjects has been studied in relation to sex, height, weight, lean body mass measured from total body potassium and predicted from the Hume-Weyers formula (1971), total body potassium, plasma potassium and urea, and packed cell volume. The strongest correlation was found with sex, but height, weight, total body potassium, lean body mass (measu...

This study was designed to characterize potassium-induced relaxation in vascular smooth muscle during the development of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) hypertension. Pigs were implanted subcutaneously with 100 mg/kg DOCA. Mean arterial pressure in the DOCA-treated pigs reached levels approximately 37% greater than controls. In some pigs, the left hindlimb vascular bed was "protected" from t...

Potassium is an important metal and is the seventh most abundant and makes up about 2.4% by weight of the earth’s crust. Potassium is an essential constituent for plant growth and is found in most soils. It is an element that is essential for the body’s growth and maintenance. It is necessary to keep a normal water balance between the cells and body fluids. Potassium also plays an essential rol...

Background:The spread of drug-resistant microbial strains has led many studies for identifying, designing, and synthesizing new antimicrobial agents.The aim of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial effects of some synthesized potassium dithiocarbazinate derivatives against 6 Gram-negative and 4 Gram-positive bacteria as well as 2 molds and 1 yeast. Potassium salts of dithiocarbazinic acids w...
