In whole kidney homogenates, dietary K+ loading markedly increased the cleaved (active) form of the epithelial sodium channel gamma subunit (γENaC) relative to control diet treated mice in both the SPF and GF groups. However, cleaved γENaC was one‐fold higher ...
a slowly rising potassium level (such as chronickidney failure) is better tolerated than an abrupt rise in potassium levels. Unless the rise in potassium has been very rapid, symptoms of hyperkalemia are usually not apparent
The kidney medulla of mammals undergoes large changes in tonicity in parallel with the tonicity of the final urine that emerges from the kidney at the tip of the medulla. When the medulla is hypertonic, its cells accumulate the compatible osmolytes myo-inositol, betaine, taurine, sorbitol and gl...
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a unique niche governed by constant crosstalk within and across all intratumoral cellular compartments. In particular, intratumoral high potassium (K+) has shown immune-suppressive potency on T cells. However, as a pan-cancer characteristic associated with local nec...
The activity of Px was determined colorimetrically at a 412 nm wavelength based on the reduction of 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) to thionitrobenzene acid that reacts with hypothiocyanite—the product of potassium thiocyanate oxidation by Px [26]. A decrease in the absorbance of thioni...
Potassium-sparing diuretics keep your potassium levels steady. Loop diuretics are very strong drugs. Your doctor may want to closely monitor your health to check for any potential side effects. Combination pills include a diuretic and another type of blood pressure medication. ...
The lead ion selective membrane consists of lead 1 wt % ionophore IV, 0.35 wt % Potassium tetrakis(4-chloropheny)borate as added anion, 65.65 wt % 2-Nitrophenyl octyl ether (2NOE) as plasticizer, and 33 wt % Poly(vinyl chloride) high molecular weight (PVC) as a substrate. The...

We evaluated genetics of hyperuricemia and gout, their interaction with kidney function and medication intake in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of urate and gout were performed in 4941 CKD patients in the Ge
The positive control inhibitor was potassium sodium tartrate solution (Sigma-Aldrich), which was diluted in aqueous buffer solution. For an assay of hDAAO activity using an alternative detection method, liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to directly measure the ...
