The essential roles of metal ions in insect homeostasis and physiology [PDF]
Metal ions play distinct roles in living organisms, including insects. Some, like sodium and potassium, are central players in osmoregulation and ‘blood and guts’ transport physiology, and have been implicated in cold adaptation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary chloride (Cl) levels on performance, eggshell mechanical quality, and ultrastructure in layers based on the substitution of sodium chloride (NaCl) by sodium sulfate (Na2SO4). Three hundred sixty Jing Brown laying hens aged 43 wk were randomly divided into 5 groups and fed with corn ...

Biomarkers of selenium status in dogs [PDF]
Background: Inadequate dietary selenium (Se) intake in humans and animals can lead to long term health problems, such as cancer. In view of the owner's desire for healthy longevity of companion animals, the impact of dietary Se provision on long term ...

Which table salt to chose? [PDF]
The link between salt consumption and hypertension has been the focus of many studies and clinical trials in the past few years. It is recommended that table salt intake does not exceed the maximum of 5g per day and yet most people find almost impossible

High dietary potassium causes ubiquitin-dependent degradation of the kidney sodium-chloride cotransporter [PDF]
The thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC) in the renal distal convoluted tubule (DCT) plays a critical role in regulating blood pressure (BP) and K+ homeostasis. During hyperkalemia, reduced NCC phosphorylation and total NCC abundance facilitate downstream electrogenic K+ secretion and BP reduction.

Increased Dietary Sodium Chloride in Patients Treated with Antihypertensive Drugs
Eleven patients on a normal diet with mild to moderate essential hypertension satisfactorily treated with diverse hypotensive agents entered a randomized double-blind cross-over study to evaluate the effect of additional sodium chloride (100 mmol slow sodium) compared with placebo on blood pressure control over a 6 week period. Despite excellent tablet

Effects of dietary sodium chloride on health parameters in mature cats
High sodium diets have been shown to enhance water intake and urine output, a potential benefit in the management of lower urinary tract diseases. However, one study suggested that high salt (sodium chloride) diets might have adverse effects on the kidneys [Kirk CA, Jewell DE, Lowry SR. Effects of sodium chloride on selected parameters in cats.

Effect of a combination of enzymes on the fundamental rheological behavior of bread dough enriched with resistant starch [PDF]
The effect of three enzymes on the fundamental rheological parameters of bread dough with high content of resistant starch (RS) was studied. The RS was added as an alternative to increase the fiber ingestion while the enzymes, to overcome the gluten ...

Influence of Dietary Sodium Chloride on Incidence of Urinary Calculi in sheep.
SummarySixty wether lambs were divided into 12 lots of 5 each and fed the experimental diets for a 105-day period. The animals were group fed all they would consume twice daily. The variables included in the diets were the presence and absence of potassium acid phosphate (K2HP04), a 10% level of sodium chloride, a 30% level of beet pulp, and the ash of

Dietary sodium chloride increases blood pressure in obese Zucker rats. [PDF]
In the rat, elevated arterial pressure is not consistently associated with obesity. The purpose of this study was to compare measurements of blood pressure, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance in obese and lean Zucker rats on different NaCl intakes. Obese and lean rats drank either water or isotonic NaCl for 18 days.
