Primary Sjogren's Syndrome presenting as quadriplegia and respiratory involvement due to renal tubular acidosis causing hypokalemia is rare and the significance of managing such case with potassium citrate instead of potassium chloride is highlighted.

The aim of this 3 × 3 factorial experiment on broilers was to investigate the effect of different dietary levels of potassium and chloride on chicken performance, carcass composition and dry matter content in excreta. 360 one-day-old Ross 308 chickens were allocated to 9 groups, in 5 replications of 8 birds (4 ♂ and 4 ♀). Chickens from 1 to 42 days of age were kept in cages with wire floors to ...

This is an investigation of the effects on the late after-potential of immersing frog sartorius muscles in three kinds of modified Ringer's fluid; hypertonic, low chloride, and potassium-free. The late after-potential has been attributed to the depolarizing effect of an accumulation of potassium, during a preceding train of impulses, in the intermediary space of the model of a muscle fiber prop...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was designed to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIT) and moderate-intensity aerobic training (MOD) on functional recovery and cerebral plasticity during the first 2 weeks after cerebral ischemia. METHODS Rats were randomized as follows: control (n=15), SHAM (n=9), middle cerebral artery occlusion (n=13), middle cerebral artery occlusi...

Commentary Inhibition in the central nervous system is dependent on chloride conductance through GABA A receptor-associated channels. When chloride channels open, the membrane potential is driven toward chloride's reversal potential, and because chlo-ride's reversal potential is negative to the neuron's threshold for firing action potentials, it normally has an inhibitory effect. GABA A recepto...

The aim of the present study was to test whether intravenous neutral phosphate supplementation, recently shown in our laboratory to acutely stimulate proton secretion in the distal nephron, was able to induce a sustained metabolic alkalosis. Neutral Na and K phosphate supplementation for seven days, with equivalent reduction in chloride supply and unchanged intake of sodium and potassium, in AD...

Physiol. 223(4) : 797-808. 1972.-Transtubular electrical potential differences and effective electrical resistances across the distal tubular wall were measured by microelectrode techniques. Specific membrane resistances we& calculated according to cable analysis. A value in the order...
