BACKGROUND Abundant evidence indicates that a high sodium intake is causally related to high blood pressure, but debate over recommendations to reduce dietary sodium in the general population continues. A key issue is whether differences in usual sodium intake within the range feasible in free-living populations have clinical or public health relevance. OBJECTIVE We examined the relation betw...

The present study evaluated the influence and mechanism of action of dietary protein intake in Dahl SS hypertension and renal disease. Rats were fed isocaloric diets with low (6%), normal (18%), or high (30%) amounts of protein and 0.4% NaCl from 5 to 12 weeks of age; the NaCl content of the diets was then increased to 4.0% NaCl from 12 to 15 weeks of age. Rats fed the high-protein diet develop...

Background: Due to difficulty of obtaining a 24h urine (especially in children), a random urine calcium sample is recommended to detect of hypercalciuria. However, recent studies have shown that the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio varies with age and geographic areas. So, the aim of this study was determining the normal value of urinary calcium to creatinine ratio in healthy adolescent’s...

We aimed to determine the energy requirements for maintenance and gain of 18 prepubertal dairy heifers three breed compositions (BC; Holstein, Gyr, Holstein × Gyr). Diets were formulated gains 0, 400, 800 g/day, corresponding 1.0×, 1.5×, 2.0× maintenance, respectively. Each BC had six animals with an initial body weight (iBW) 219.8 ± 32 kg, 215.8 33 228.3 kg The experiment was designed as a com...

To evaluate the mercury (Hg) exposure level of children located in a Hg mining area, total Hg concentrations and speciation were determined in hair and urine samples of children in the Wanshan Hg mining area, Guizhou Province, China. Rice samples consumed by these same children were also collected for total mercury (THg) and methyl-mercury (MeHg) analysis. The geometric mean concentrations of T...

The aim of the study was to describe the urinary electrophoretic pattern of dogs with heartworm disease.Urine samples from 15 heartworm-infected and 15 healthy dogs were taken. Urinary specific gravity, urinaryprotein concentration and the urine protein/creatinine (U P/C) ratio were determined. Urine proteins werefractionated using SDS-PAGE. Results showed statistically significant differences ...
