Sodium dipotassium citrate, NaK2C6H5O7.

The crystal structure of sodium dipotassium citrate, Na(+)·2K(+)·C6H5O7 (3-), has been solved and refined using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. The Na(+) and one of the K(+) cations are six-coordinate, with bond-valence sums of 1.13 and 0.92 valence units, respectively, while another crystallographically independent K(+) cation is sev...

Potassium citrate feeding protects against nephron loss in severe sodium chloride hypertension in rats.

1. Potassium citrate did not significantly increase plasma flow to the renal papilla in normotensive Dahl R rats on either low or high NaCl diets. Similarly, potassium citrate did not significantly increase papillary plasma flow in mildly hypertensive Dahl S rats on low NaCl diets. Thus potassium citrate feeding did not ordinarily alter papillary plasma flow. 2. When S rats were fed on a high (...

Infant Feeding

This new volume on Infant Feeding is based on a course of lectures given to the students of Rush Medical College, and it is partly due to a demand on their part that the treatise is written. In its preparation the writer has endeavoured to bring our knowledge of the scientific processes that underlie infant feeding up to the present, and to apply these principles in such a way that they can be ...
