The intestinal transport of D-xylose was studied during subchronic poisoning of male Wistar rats with the oral administration of potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite. The metabolic parameters of small intestine mucosa were determined one hour after xylose administration, i.e., Na+/K(+)-ATPase, alkaline phosphatase, oxygen consumption, and lactic acid level. Nitrite reduced the absorption of xylose and decreased the activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase. No effect of sodium nitrite was demonstrated on the aerobic metabolism of intestinal mucosa with an increased lactic acid level. Potassium nitrate did not effect the processes of intestinal absorption of xylose nor the metabolic parameters of small intestine mucosa.

The intestinal transport of D-xylose was studied during the acute poisoning of male Wistar rats with orally administered potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite. At the peak of xylose absorption, the metabolic parameters of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, alkaline phosphatase, oxygen uptake, and lactic acid level were determined in the small intestine mucosa. Nitrite in a dose of 80 mg NaNO2/kg b.w. increased the permeability of gastric mucosa for D-xylose and raised the uptake of oxygen by the small intestine mucosa. No changes were observed in the activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase. A dose of 10 mg NaNO2/kg b.w. was not followed by increased absorption of this sugar. It was also demonstrated that potassium nitrate had no effect on the process of intestinal absorption of D-xylose and failed to change the determined metabolic parameters of the small intestine mucosa.

The intestinal absorption of D-xylose was studied during the subchronic poisoning of male Wistar rats with orally administered potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite associated with exercise; running on a moving track during the last two weeks of poisoning. The metabolic parameters of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, alkaline phosphatase, oxygen uptake, and lactic acid level in the small intestine mucosa were determined one hour after D-xylose treatment. Exercise increased the toxicity of potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite. The experiment demonstrated post-exercise reduction of D-xylose absorption and decrease activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase. Exercise caused transient hypoxia of the small intestine, which was observed only in the groups subjected to exercise on the day of the determinations.

The intestinal absorption of D-xylose was studied during acute poisoning of male Wistar rats receiving intragastrically potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite and small intestine perfusion with these compounds. The metabolic parameters, Na+/K(+)-ATPase, alkaline phosphatase, oxygen uptake, and lactic acid level, were assessed in the small intestine mucosa one hour after administration of these compounds. Exercise was demonstrated to reduce the intestinal absorption of D-xylose, to raise the level of lactic acid, and to increase the oxygen uptake by the small intestine mucosa, but caused no changes in the activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase or alkaline phosphatase. Also, exercise failed to change the direction of the toxic effects of sodium nitrite but increased potassium nitrate toxicity as evidenced by reduced absorption of D-xylose from the intestine despite lack of changes of the enzymes Na+/K(+)-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase in the mucosa.

Diarrhoea is a common gastrointestinal disorder which is a state of fluid and ion loss from the gut. Cauvery-100, an Ayurvedic formulation has been used in this study for the treatment of diarrhoea. Diarrhoea was induced in experimental rats by oral administration of castor oil. The increased gastrointestinal motility in diarrhoea was brought back to near normal levels on the treatment of Cauvery-100. The activities of the enzymes alkaline phosphatase, total ATPase and Na+,K(+)-ATPase were decreased in the diarrhoeal group and was brought back to near normal levels in the treated group. The serum levels of sodium and potassium were decreased in the diarrhoeal group and brought back to normal levels in the treated group. Prior treatment of the drug Cauvery-100 did not induce diarrhoea on administration of castor oil, suggesting the protective influence of the drug on the gastrointestinal tract.

Dietary boron, in concentrations similar to that found in human diets comprised mainly of fruits and vegetables, affects both mineral and energy metabolism. Therefore, the effects of boron on a model system with a perturbed metabolic insulin-vitamin D3 axis was examined. Weanling male rats were fed a ground corn-high protein casein-corn oil-based diet (0.06 mg B/kg; no supplemental vitamin D3) supplemented with B (as orthoboric acid) at 0 or 2.4 mg/kg. After 55 days, all rats were equilibrated in individual metabolic cages for 6 days. After another 6 days, one half of the rats in both dietary groups were injected intraperitoneally with streptozotocin (STZ). All rats were killed 3 days after STZ treatment. STZ affected many aspects of mineral metabolism as expected. Plasma ionized calcium concentrations fell by approximately 10% in STZ-treated rats. Brain and heart mineral metabolism was spared from the toxic effects of STZ whereas spleen mineral metabolism was especially vulnerable to STZ. Supplemental dietary boron increased urinary excretion of calcium in the non-STZ rats but did not affect the plasma concentrations of alkaline phosphatase, ionized calcium or the concentration of calcium in the brains, lungs, kidneys and spleens of those animals. Supplemental dietary boron temporarily reduced the abnormally elevated renal excretion of albumin, potassium and sodium during the acute phase of diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, physiological amounts of dietary boron exacerbated the abnormally elevated rate of collagen breakdown in the STZ animal. Finally, boron may have indirectly affected heart mineral metabolism because dietary boron did not affect cardiac boron concentrations but did affect cardiac copper, calcium, manganese, molybdenum and phosphorus concentrations, primarily in non-STZ rats. The findings suggest that dietary boron has both protective and regulatory roles in mineral metabolism.

Male OF1 mice were injected subcutaneously with 80 mg/kg potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7). Examination of cryostat kidney sections stained for alkaline phosphatase (APP) revealed damage to about 40-70% of the proximal tubules after 8 h. Pretreatment with the organic anionic transport inhibitor probenecid (i.p., 3 x 0.75 mmol/kg) reduced the number of damaged tubules by 60% in mice treated with potassium dichromate. Pretreatment with the gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (gamma-GT) inactivator acivicin (AT-125, 50 mg/kg p.o., plus 50 mg/kg i.p.) failed to prevent chromate-induced renal toxicity. These results support the conclusion that a probenecid-sensitive transport process, but not a gamma-GT-catalyzed degradation, is involved in the mouse renal toxicity of potassium dichromate.

1. In order to determine the different components of glycine uptake by the intestine of the frog, Discoglossus pictus, we have used brush border membrane vesicles isolated by a classical precipitation technique. 2. Enzymatic tests showed that a good purification was obtained. The concentration ratio of alkaline phosphatase was 14.8. 3. Glycine entry in vesicles as a function of time, in presence or absence of sodium, indicated an overshoot which decreased when incubation time was prolonged. The overshoot was dependent on the presence of sodium. 4. The nature of the anion associated to sodium had little effect on glycine uptake. Nevertheless, chloride and thiocyanate appeared more efficient than glutarate. 5. The effect of transmembrane potential was studied by using valinomycin associated with a potassium gradient. The addition of this substance stimulated glycine transport by 43%. 6. The transport at different glycine concentrations showed two components: one non-saturable with weak affinity and the other saturable with strong affinity (Kt = 0.338 mM). 7. In conclusion, glycine transport by the brush border of D. pictus intestine presents a saturable component depending on sodium and on transmembrane electrical potential.

Twelve blood serum parameters: sodium, potassium, chlorine, total protein, cholesterol, glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, alanine and aspartate aminotransferases activities were measured in 488 normal subjects (male), residents of Leningrad, by the Technicon (USA) microanalyzer. Relationships between the estimated reference values and the distribution patterns of the referent blood parameters (variability, symmetric pattern) were analyzed. The authors compare the reference values of the Leningrad population with those obtained by this microanalyzer in the USA.

In 1983 and 1984 blood was collected from 79 cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) confined to an outdoor enclosure in southern Illinois to establish reference values for hematology and serum chemistry. Packed cell volume, sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose, calcium, carbon dioxide, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, cholesterol, albumin, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransaminase, total protein, albumin/globulin ratio, and osmolality were measured. Sex and age (adult versus juvenile) of rabbit as well as season (June to September versus October to May) and method of capture (trap versus shot) variously affected most hematology and serum chemistry variables.
