background because of difficulty in obtaining a 24-hour urine collection in children, a random sample of urine is often used to calculate the urinary calcium to creatinine ratio. urinary calcium excretion might be influenced by genetic, geographic area, etc. in this study, the value of urinary calcium, creatinine, sodium and potassium excretion and age–related reference values for urine calcium...

The bioaccumulation of alkali and alkaline earth metals such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium were estimated in five different organs i.e., tissue, kidney, gills, liver, and testis/ovary of rohu, Labeo rohita (Ham.). The samples were collected from three study areas namely Kendrapada (KPD), Keonjhar (KEO) and Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture (CIFA) in Odisha. There was rec...

Inherent smooth muscle tone and acetylcholine-induced contractions of the isolated longitudinal muscle from guinea pig ileum are inhibited by 1.2 M ethanol. The inhibitions are antagonized by high concentrations of calcium ion in the external medium. Previous work has indicated that an acetylcholine-induced increase in potassium efflux from the ileal muscle is also inhibited by ethanol and reac...

Milk and blood serum from clinically mastitis infected, subclinically mastitis infected and healthy Friesian cows (15 samples from each of 3 groups) were evaluated for macrominerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus). The milk from cows infected with subclinical mastitis revealed a significant decrease in potassium (P < 0.001) and a significant increase in sodium and phospho...

Micronutrient malnutrition is a global challenge. However, there are promising opportunities for combating it through the consumption of neglected and underutilized leafy green vegetables. Senecio biafrae an nutrient-rich vegetable with huge nutritional health potentials that have remained unexploited. The aim this research was to evaluate proximate, mineral, vitamin, anti-nutrient contents lea...

Selecting suitable clones and regulating nutrients for Eucalyptus plantation are a key management practice improving productivity nutrient use. Therefore, this study evaluated growth performance, above-ground biomass, content (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium) use efficiency (NUE) of ten Clones three sites in Leizhou Peninsula. The present showed significant genetic variation...
