The potassium content of plants varies considerably, though it is ordinarily in the range of 0.5–2 percent of the dry weight. In humans the ratio of potassium between the cell and plasma is approximately 27:1. The potassium content of muscle tissue is approximately 0.3 percent, whereas that ...
is found in fruit or seed. Deficiency can cause curling leaves, yellow or brown coloration of leaves, weak stalk and diminished root growth. Potassium deficiency has been associated with several common animal ailments. Potassium is in extracellular fluid in animals at lower concentrations than sodium...
Pin1 deficiency causes endothelial dysfunction and hypertension. Pin1 is a peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase that only binds to and isomerizes phosphorylated serine/threonine-proline motifs, inducing conformational cha... Valorie,L,Chiasson,... - 《Hypertension》 被引量: 50发表: 2011年 加载更...
This study was conducted in a mice model. The purpose was to determine why and how potassium deficiency develops in humans and how to treat it. Scientists also looked at the link between low potassium levels and increased urination, as well as interference with the water balance hormone. Potas...
deficiency disorders. Salt iodization is a key strategy to prevent such deficiency. In Lithuania, no surveys have been performed to directly assess sodium, potassium and iodine consumption. The aim of the present study was to measure sodium, potassium and iodine intake in a randomly selected ...
Some animal studies have demonstrated a relationship between zinc and insulin metabolism, and that a deficiency may play a role in the onset of diabetes, however a relationship of zinc-deficient diets and glucose intolerance in humans is not confirmed. ...
32 With prolonged and severe potassium deficiency, rhabdomyolysis and thirst and polyuria, due to the development of renal diabetes insipidus, may occur. The ECG changes are relatively non-specific, and include prolongation of the PR interval, T-wave inversion and prominent U-waves. Treatment ...
The elimination of iodine deficiency is usually achieved by adding iodine 20–80 mg/kg salt in the form of a sodium or potassium salt of iodide or iodate, the latter being preferred because of its better stability (Kelly, 1953; Arroyave et al., 1956). Sign in to download full-size ...
In conclusion, while et al, 2006). a rigorous proof that the upstream G/A polymorphism is In humans, SLC12A6 deficiency leads to Andermann's functional due to epigenetic rather than genetic regulatory syndrome. Interestingly, individuals possessing only one effects is still outstanding, we have ...
Dietary selenium is known to have an important role in maintaining host immune competence, as it is essential to the formation of the antioxidant glutathione peroxidase[20]. Selenium deficiency has been linked to reduced immune function and increased susceptibility to viral illness. The causes of sel...
