The effects of melatonin on vascular function, oxidative stress and blood pressure reactivity during a high sodium diet
High sodium diets (HSD) can reduce the ability of the arteries to properly dilate (i.e., vascular dysfunction), partially due to increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS). HSD can also cause exaggerated increases in blood pressure (BP) during different physiological perturbations (BP reactivity). …

Effects of Low and High Sodium Chloride Diets and Furosemide Administration on Cardiac Function, Plasma Electrolyte Concentrations, and the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
… heart failure is commonly treated with a low sodium diet and diuretic. The purpose of this treatment is the reduction of preload, or blood volume presented to the diseased cardiac muscle. The purpose of this study was to assess the roles of dietary sodium and furosemide on cardiac function, …

Investigating the use of sodium metasilicate to improve the flotation performance of altered PGE ores
… grade due to naturally-floating gangue. Sodium metasilicate was investigated because its dispersant, rheology modifying, and depressant properties could prove promising in combating the problems associated with these ore types. Quantitative evaluation by scanning electron microscopy …

The role played by angiotensin (1-7) in the regulation of renal haemodynamics and excretory function in anesthetized rats
… natriuresis was compromised in rats receiving a high sodium diet (suppressed RAAS) and enhanced in low sodium fed rats (activated RAAS)? Could the answer lie with changes in intra-renal AT1 or Mas receptor expression? Interestingly, the observed Ang (1-7) induced increases in sodium and water …

Geochemical Evidence for Vertical Migration of Deep Formation Fluids through the Baton Rouge -Denham Springs Fault System
… (Br)/Chloride (Cl) and Potassium (K) /Cl ratios, high Sodium (Na) /Cl ratios, trace Magnesium (Mg) concentrations, and low Strontium (Sr) <sup>87</sup>/Sr<sup>86</sup> in brackish waters from the BRAS are inconsistent with <em>in situ</em> saline water from marine formation fluids of similar age. …

Adrenal response to chronic and acute water stress in Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica
… lack of an aldosterone response suggests that high sodium in the diet was more important than the water regimes in regulating aldosterone. The adrenal was sensitive to ACTH as indicated by the elevated adrenal aldosterone and corticosterone content after ACTH injection, however sodium status …

Changes in Septic Tank Effluent Due to Water Softener Use
… treatment community. Research has shown that high sodium levels in activated sludge plants can lead to deflocculation and poor effluent quality. Therefore, it is logical to assume that high sodium levels that result from the exchange of calcium and magnesium for sodium in home softeners could …

An assessment of morphological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties of soils derived from volcanic deposits in Rwanda
… or grayish brown cambic horizons. Organic C is high and is associated with high sodium pyrophosphate extractable aluminum and iron. Phosphate retention is high and varied according to sodium pyrophosphate extractable aluminum and allophane contents. Soil cation exchange capacity, organic C, …

The role of the perinexus in Long QT Syndrome Type 3
Gain of function of cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav1.5) leads to Long QT Syndrome Type 3 (LQT3). LQT3 phenotype can be exacerbated by expanding the perinexus, which is an intercellular nanodomain with high density of Nav1.5 in the intercalated disc. Following this finding, we found that …

Hydrogeology of the Shell Creek area, Mountrail County, North Dakota
… the principal aquifers in the area, and by the high sodium sulfate content of the water; and (4) regional magnitude flow system, many tons of miles wide, characterized by sulfate and chloride-rich waters and by very long flow duration.</p> <p>The flow-system approach to the analysis of the …

Optimizing a hybrid reverse osmosis/electrodialysis system for natural organic matter concentration
… Salts are also harmful to mammalian cells at high concentrations, which may cause artifacts in the toxicological outcomes. Thus ED was introduced to remove the inorganic ions. However, since a portion of NOM is negatively charged, it is not retained well by ED. Due to the ion exchange …

Cations and activated sludge floc structure
… remained in the effluent of WWTP that received high influent sodium but had low iron and aluminum in floc. However, sludges from plants with high sodium and high iron and aluminum dewatered well and produced high quality effluents, suggesting that iron and aluminum have significant positive …

Development of the DESK (Disinhibited Eating Score for Koreans) Questionnaire: Examining the relationship between eating cues and food intake in the corporate-working population of Seoul, Korea
… especially its capital Seoul, a city with the highest population density even among other megacities of developed countries, resulting in a highly intensified food environment with many potential implications on eating behavior. Also, both the corporate and social culture revolving highly …

The Relationship between Blood Pressure and Total Sodium Intake among Rural Adolescents
… similar communities but with differing sodium levels in their drinking water. One community had a high level of sodium (107 mg/1) in the drinking water while the second had a low level of sodium (8 mg/1) in the drinking water. The current one-group post-test-only research study has …

A Computer Simulation of a Laboratory Coreflood , Using TRSl0-80 Surfactant in Berea
… Alcohol, 1.0 wt. % NaCl Brine Slug. Since sodium and calcium concentrations were not measured in the coreflood effluent, and the effect of calcium on the slug was not known, the simulation was conducted on a history matching basis. Using experimentally determined input parameters to …

Purpose: To compare the effects of low and high sodium beverage with CHO in hydrated collegiate soccer players on performance, ad libitum water intake, and perceived thirst. 13 male soccer players (18-22 years old) from a Southeast University volunteered for this study. All participants had …

Investigations Related to Dietary Sodium in Chronic Heart Failure
Sodium restriction is the primary dietary therapy for individuals with heart failure (HF); however, there is little information available to support or refute the use of sodium restriction to manage HF. The overall goal of this work was to generate data related to dietary sodium in patients with …
