These experiments were aimed at investigating renal behavior towards chloride, as distinct from sodium, during dietary deprivation of these ions in adrenalectomized rats. Adrenalectomized and shamoperated control rats were maintained on saline for 3 wk, then chloride conservation during a very low chloride intake was assessed both with an abundant sodium intake (as buffered sodium phosphate in ...

With a mean precipitation rate, much lower than that of the world, Iran is among the countries that face severe water challenges. The present study has dealt with the evaluation of hydrochemistry of Faryab spring water in Hormozgan Province, Iran. Four different composite water samples have been analyzed to detect major anions, cations, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH, and s...

SUMMARY Sodium azide, 2,4-dinitrophenol and iodoacetate did not inhibit hydrolysis of lactose by cell-free preparations of Sacchuromyces fragilis ,8-galactosidase, but with intact organisms fermentation and hydrolysis were inhibited to a similar extent. This suggests that these inhibitors may interfere with the transport of lactose into the cell. Galactose fermentation was inhibited by sodium a...

Comminuted raw turkey, containing 1.4% sodium chloride, 0.3% sodium phosphate, and 0 (control), 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, or 3.5% sodium lactate, was inoculated with a 10-strain mixture of proteolytic type A and B Clostridium botulinum spores. The inoculated turkey was vacuum packaged and cooked by immersion in heated water to an internal temperature of 71.1 degrees C. Samples were incubated at 27 degrees...

We measured the emf of a sodium ion-selective electrode in NaCl-NaHCO3 solutions (160 mmol of Na+, 160-120 mmol of Cl-, and 0-40 mmol HCO3- per liter) with a home-built cell in steady-state after 10 min and with two commercial direct potentiometric analyzers about 20 s after the sample was introduced. Substitution of HCO3- for Cl- resulted in a small decrease in emf. We calculated the effect of...

the dependence on ionic strength of protonation of glycine and its complexation with dioxouranium (vi) is reported in sodium perchlorate and sodium chloride solutions as background salts. the measurements have been performed at 25±0.1°c and various ionic strengths in the range 0.1 to 1.0 mol , using a combination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques. the overall analysis  of the ...

If filtration is required, sintered-glass funnels should be used as filter paper removes some of the dye by adsorption. Sodium bromide is used in preference to sodium chloride or potassium chloride because the detergent solution gradually develops a turbidity (not visible in the presence of the dye) on addition of the chlorides, and precipitates are formed on storage in mixtures of detergent, a...

The unidirectional fluxes of sodium, chloride, and of the bicarbonate and CO2 pair were determined across the isolated large intestine of the bullfrog, Rana catesbiana. The isolated large intestine of the frog is characterized by a mean transmembrane potential of 45 my., serosal surface positive with respect to mucosal. The unidirectional sodium flux from mucosal to serosal surface was found to...

Aldosterone plays an important part in the regulation of the extracellular volume. It is known today that this corticosteroid influences not only the tubular reabsorption of sodium in the kidneys, but also intervenes in the sodium elimination mechanism of the sweat glands (Siegenthaler, de Haller, Veyrat and Muller, 1962). The study of the renal and extrarenal effect of aldosterone is best acco...
