Simplified equations are presented to describe in terms of K the distribution of chloride expected when the quantity of the salt Kp in the body fluids changes in health and disease.doi:10.1007/BF02478240Walter S. WildeKluwer Academic PublishersBulletin of Mathematical Biology...
renal function, and gastrointestinal homeostasis. “Dyschloremia,” i.e., serum chloride levels not within the limits of normal, may commonly be observed on ICUs and appear mainly induced by iatrogenic measures (i.e., infusion of chloride-rich fluids). Hypo- and hyperchloremia appear linked ...
Total body Cl was on the average 30.1 m. equiv., range 27.1 to 33.7, per kg. bodyweight, and intracellular Cl formed 29.7. range 19.8 to 40.4, per cent. of total Cl. With the same nomenclature as in the preceding abstract averages and ranges for intracellular Cl were: 24.8 m. ......
Mild acid-base disorders may have few signs or symptoms. More severe acid-base disorders can cause a wide variety of symptoms. This is because an appropriate acid-base balance is fundamental to the function of the body’s major systems, including the cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, and me...
A robust accumulation of intracellular Cl− in vascular smooth muscle cells through the increased activity of Na+–K+–2Cl− cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) during hypertension has also been reported. Thus, the enhanced activity of both TMEM16A and NKCC1 could act additively and sequentially to ...
You may not notice any change in your symptoms, but your blood work will help your doctor determine how long to treat you with potassium chloride. Your heart function may need to be checked using an electrocardiograph or ECG (sometimes called an EKG). Even if you have no symptoms, tests ...
Potassium chloride is also used in the manufacturing of potassium-based chemicals, in water treatment processes, and as a salt substitute in food. Its primary function as a fertilizer is to promote healthy root development, enhance disease resistance, and improve the overall vigor of plants. The ...
The brain of humans and other primates accumulates the highest level in the body soon after exposure to mercury vapor. In erythrocytes, catalase mediates the oxidation of mercury vapor to divalent mercury. Ethanol influences the extent of absorption because it inhibits catalase, the mercury-oxidizing...
Function Electrolyte balance: Chloride is the major anion inextracellular fluidsand helps to maintain normalosmotic pressure. Transport: Several transporters require chloride as a cotransportedcounterionor exchange chloride for another anion. Thetaurine transporter(TAUT, SLC6A6) and thebetainetransporter (BG...
Health HazardWhen methylene chloride enters the human body, it affects brain function, such as not being able to concentrate. At high enough levels, it can stop breathing. At lower levels, methylene chloride exposure causes dizziness, fatigue, headaches, and nausea. Methylene chloride breaks down ...
