Regulation of intracellular and extracellular potassium concentration is a fundamental process vital for cellular metabolism. Potassium intake, from the diet, is carefully balanced with excretion of potassium via the renal tract and gastrointestinal losses. Following a potassium load, extra-renal buffering of potassium occurs in peripheral tissues prior to its excretion. Thus potassium regulati...

This study evaluated the effects of sodium chloride reduction and replacement with potassium chloride or modified potassium chloride based salts using a weight or molar equivalent basis on the sensory and physico-chemical properties of pork sausage patties. Three independent replications of pork sausage patties were manufactured to compare five treatments: full sodium, reduced sodium, modified ...

Giebisch, Gerhard. Renal potassium transport: mechanisms and regulation. Am. J. Physiol. 274 (Renal Physiol. 43): F817–F833, 1998.— The regulation of potassium metabolism involves mechanisms for the appropriate distribution between the intraand extracellular fluid compartments and for the excretion by the kidney. Clearance and singlenephron studies show that renal excretion is determined by reg...

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of Nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of Leonardite and foliar application of N and K. The experiment was conducted in Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources during 2013- 2014. The experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel openers have a relaxation effect due to the lower cellular membrane potential and inhibit calcium influx. There has been considerable interest in exploring KATP channel openers in the treatment of various diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and urinary system disease and premature labor. The purpose of this study was to synthesize 3,3,6,6-tet...

abstract mineral weathering is a major source of most essential nutrients including potassium. it is well known that potassium plays an important role in improving the quality of agricultural products and micaceous minerals, as the major source of potassium, are abundant in iranian soils. no information is available on the role of micaceous minerals in supplying k to barley as the second major ...

abstract heated micaceous minerals under different commercial brand names (including vermiculite) are used as culture medium in greenhouses. heating minerals affects the release of elements, such as potassium, by changing their structure. the present study, investigates the ability of alfalfa, as one of the most important fodder around the world, to take up the non-exchangeable and structural p...

abstract a simple and sensitive chemiluminescence (cl) method was developed for direct quantification of oxymorphone, a µ opioid agonist that is approximately 10 times more potent than morphine. in this method potassium permanganate in polyphosphoric acid was used as cl reagent. using this method, oxymorphone can be determined over the concentration ranges 13.5-337.8 ng ml-1 and 0.34-6.76 µg ml...
