A study of the effect of additional oral potassium on the low body potassium of seven patients with severe valvular heart disease showed that the potassium supplements were retained. After one month's treatment the exchangeable potassium was significantly increased, but the predicted value was not reached in any of the patients. There was no significant change in plasma potassium. These results...

Canonical correlation analysis was applied to the study of interrelationships between two multivariate datasets, one consisting of available and exchangeable potassium content, and second consisting of pH, hydrolytic acidity, and content of exchangeable aluminum, calcium and magnesium, available phosphorus, and total nitrogen. An attempt has been made to provide an overall pattern of interrelat...

ABSTRACT- The present research was conducted to study K forms and fixation in soils of southern Iran (Hormozgan Province) with aridic and aridic-ustic regimes and to address the relations between soil mineralogy and potassium forms. Thirteen surface soil samples (0-25 cm) were collected from different regions and analyzed in laboratory. Illite and feldspar and mica are the major clay and soil m...

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...

The effect of temperature upon the exchange rates between intra- and extracellular potassium in chick embryo muscle was determined by the use of radioactive potassium. The temperature coefficient of at least four-fifths of the cell potassium is large. At temperatures below 15 degrees C., potassium is lost from the cell and is regained on warming. The results suggest the possibility that 20 per ...
