The kinetics of endogenous urea were compared during the last month of pregnancy, lactation, and a nonpregnant, nonlactating control period in Sardi sheep kept on a constant feed level. Urea entry rate estimated by injections of [14C]urea rose by 36% during pregnancy. Renal urea excretion was reduced by 40% during pregnancy and by 28% during lactation. Consequently, fractional urea recycling wa...

1. Glomerular filtration rate and effective renal blood-flow were normal in a series of patients with sickle cell anaemia. Fractional creatinine excretion and fractional urea excretion were increased. 2. During indomethacin administration there were significant falls in glomerular filtration rate, effective renal blood-flow, creatinine clearance and urea clearance in the patients with sickle ce...

to evaluate the effects of on-farm seed priming treatments and sowing dates on rate and percentage of seedling emergence, biological yield and some physiological indices of corn hybrid (sc. 260) an experiment was conducted in hamedan, iran in 2010. a split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted. main plots include three sowing dates (early, on-time and ...

14C and 15N isotopes of urea were infused intravenously into rabbits for 6-8 h in order to measure urea synthesis and the extent of degradation in the digestive tract. The results indicate that 0.62 of the urea flux was excreted in the urine and that re-incorporation of urea-N following hydrolysis in the gut represented 0.3 of the urea synthesis rate. Sampling of metabolites from the caecum by ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Previous in vitro and clinical studies showed that the urea mass transfer-area coefficient (K(o)A) increased with increasing dialysate flow rate. This observation led to increased dialysate flow rates in an attempt to maximize the delivered dose of dialysis (Kt/V(urea)). Recently, we showed that urea K(o)A was independent of dialysate flow rate in the range 500 to 800 ...

BACKGROUND Like several other parasites, Teladorsagia circumcincta secretes or excretes urea, but neither the rate of efflux nor the possible metabolic sources of the urea has been considered. METHODS Parasites were maintained by passage through sheep. Urea efflux was measured using phenol/hypochlorite after treatment with urea aminohydrolase. The kinetics of creatine amidinohydrolase and arg...

The Hannover Dialysis (extended dialysis) study and the dose-outcome relation Sir, The investigators participating in the Hannover Dialysis Outcome (HANDOUT) study [1] deserve enormous credit for the important results of their prodigious comparison of standard versus intensified extended dialysis treatment of ICU patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI). However , a number of issues relat...

urea synthesised in the body.2 The discrepancy could result not only from the hydrolysis of urea in the gut but also from excretion of urea in the skin. A significant proportion of N released from hydrolysis of urea in the gut is also known to be recycled into urea or excreted as ammonia in the breath. In healthy adults with a normal protein intake about 20% of synthesised urea is not excreted ...
