Total body potassium determined by whole-body monitoring and exchangeable body potassium estimated with (43)K were measured simultaneously in 12 patients with stable chronic renal failure. Values for the exchangeable potassium were obtained after equilibration periods of 24, 48, and 64 hours. The exchangeable body potassium, expressed as a percentage of the total body potassium (mean +/- S.E. o...

abstract low molecular weight carboxylic acids (lmw) play an important role in improving the bioavailability of soil nutrients. nonexchangeable soil k, trapped between the interlayers of clay minerals, is an important source of k for plants in many soils. the objectives of this study were to determine the effect of selected lmw organic acids on the release of k from micaceous minerals and to in...

ABSTRACT- Different soil potassium (K) pools including soluble, exchangeable and non-exchangeable in surface and subsurface soils may be totally used by canola roots at different growth stages under drought conditions. A field experiment was conducted for one growing season (2013-2014) to study K pools changes during growth stages of two rapeseed cultivars under drought. The experiment was arra...

1. Exchangeable potassium, sulphate space and intracellular fluid have been determined in eight normal males and in seven uraemic male patients on a regime of twice weekly 8 h dialysis. 2. Intracellular water was more closely correlated with exchangeable potassium than were body weight or lean body mass. 3. There was no correlation between exchangeable potassium and plasma or erythrocyte potass...

1. Potassium depletion was induced in rabbits with frusemide and measurements were made of plasma, leucocyte, erythrocyte and total exchangeable potassium before and during potassium depletion. 2. All measurements, except erythrocyte potassium expressed as mmol/kg of cells, decreased during the depletion period. 3. Significant correlations were observed between change in leucocyte potassium and...
