To determine the effects of potassium supplementation on endothelial function, cardiovascular risk factors, and bone turnover and to compare potassium chloride with potassium bicarbonate, we carried out a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial in 42 individuals with untreated mildly raised blood pressure. Urinary potassium was 77+/-16, 122+/-25, and 125+/-27 mmol/2...

     For investigation deficit irrigation and nitrogen application effect on nutrients uptake of henna ecotypes, this research was conducted in the form of split-split-plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications in the Research Field of Islamic Azad University, Jiroft, Iran in 2013-2014. The main, sub and sub-sub plot were deficit irrigation (100, 75 and 50% of ...

this experiment was conducted in five regions of spring sowing of beet cultivation as follow: karaj, hamadan, shiraz, miandoab and mashhad for three years. five levels of potassium (0, 50, 100, 150 & 200 kg/has) from k2so4 source were applied before sowing. the experiment design was crbd design with five replications. the results showed that both root yield and sugar yield were affected signifi...

This study was conducted in two phases: 1) to investigate the effect of drought stress on relative water content and proline of leaf and 2) to evaluate the effect of drought stress and potassium concentrations in nutrient solution on the lily (Lilium longifolium × Asiatic cv. Termoli). Based on a completely randomized design in mixture of sand and perlite medium and in three levels of potassium...

Rat kidneys perfused outside of the body with an artificial medium are able to increase their fractional excretion of potassium in response to a rising concentration of potassium in the medium but never show net secretion of potassium. By contrast, isolated perfused kidneys from chronically potassium-loaded rats regularly secrete potassium in excess of the amount filtered. Ouabain completely bl...

Racial differences in erythrocyte potassium effluxes mediated by two loop-diuretic sensitive modes of cotransport were compared. In red cells loaded to contain approximately equimolar amounts of sodium and potassium, black subjects had lower bumetanide-sensitive sodium-dependent net potassium effluxes as compared to whites. In fresh, washed erythrocytes pretreated with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), m...

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 ...

Removal of potassium from Hydra culture medium produces a decrease in intracellular potassium and a parallel decrease in asexual growth rate. Rubidium and caesium are ineffective as substitutes for potassium in the maintenance of growth rate. Increases in intracellular potassium parallel increases in growth rate up to a level somewhat below the normal steady-state level of intracellular potassi...

BACKGROUND Potassium disorders can cause major complications and must be avoided in critically ill patients. Regulation of potassium in the intensive care unit (ICU) requires potassium administration with frequent blood potassium measurements and subsequent adjustments of the amount of potassium administrated. The use of a potassium replacement protocol can improve potassium regulation. For saf...
