Na+ and K+ balance is influenced by the activity of the sodium chloride cotransporter NCC in the distal convoluted tubule. NCC activity and abundance are reduced by high extracellular K+.

Reliability of Venous Electrolyte Measurement from the Point-of-Care Blood Gas AnalyserA Comparative Study with the Central Laboratory Autoanalyser in a Tertiary Care Emergency Department [PDF]
Introduction: Emergency Departments (EDs) utilise Point-OfCare (POC) equipment based on which the physicians decide on resuscitation and management. Along with many other parameters, POC Blood Gas Analysers (BGA) in the ED provide quick results on blood ...

Potassium Effects on NCC Are Attenuated during Inhibition of Cullin E3–Ubiquitin Ligases
The thiazide-sensitive sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC) plays a vital role in maintaining sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) homeostasis. NCC activity is modulated by with-no-lysine kinases 1 and 4 (WNK1 and WNK4), the abundance of which is controlled by

Potassium Control of Plant Functions: Ecological and Agricultural Implications
Potassium, mostly as a cation (K+), together with calcium (Ca2+) are the most abundant inorganic chemicals in plant cellular media, but they are rarely discussed.

Evidence for the formation of a Mott state in potassium-intercalated pentacene [PDF]
We investigate electronic transport through pentacene thin-films intercalated with potassium. From temperature-dependent conductivity measurements we find that potassium-intercalated pentacene shows metallic behavior in a broad range of potassium ...

Potassium and Hypertension [PDF]
A recent meta-analysis supports the premise that increased potassium intake may play a role in the prevention and treatment of hypertension. The possible mechanisms by which potassium may act as an antihypertensive and recommendations regarding increasing potassium intake are also discussed.

Nutrient deficiency effects on root architecture and root-to-shoot ratio in arable crops
Plant root traits play a crucial role in resource acquisition and crop performance when soil nutrient availability is low. However, the respective trait responses are complex, particularly at the field scale, and poorly understood due to difficulties in ...
