Abstract
We evaluated the capability of these techniques to monitor transport pathways and processes in xylem and associated tissues using supplementary sodium (Na) and tracers for potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), and (41)K added to the transpiration stream. Cryo-ToF-SIMS imaging produced detailed mappings of w...

Abstract
We have observed subtle but significant contributions of chemical shift anisotropy with values up to 45 ppm, a first such observation. Careful analysis of static and MAS spectra allows the observation of the various chemical shift and quadrupole coupling tensor components as well as their relative o...

Abstract
We used stable isotopes to quantify N, K and Mg in new shoots of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) seedlings and to compare the relative contributions from current uptake and internal cycling. Two-year-old Sitka spruce seedlings were labeled with (15)N, (41)K and (26)Mg in an abundant or...

Abstract
(39)K nuclear magnetic resonance was used to measure the efflux of K(+) from suspensions of human erythrocytes [red blood cells (RBCs)], that occurred in response to the calcium ionophore, A23187 and calcium ions; the latter activate the Gárdos channel. Signals from the intra- and extracellular p...

Abstract
These results suggest that gender differences in body composition in response to GH treatment are small, if adjustments are made for baseline factors such as age, BMI and dose of GH. Different methods of body composition measurements produce different results, but changes in response to GH administr...

Abstract
Metabolite concentrations and muscle pH were similar for patients and controls at lower workloads. At maximal dynamic and static contractions the concentration of inorganic phosphate was lower and at static contractions the pH decrease was smaller in patients. The performed work by patients was only...

Abstract
Europium and Texas Red can be detected by confocal microscopy. Europium, iron and gadolinium can be detected by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) microscopy. Studies confirmed the complementarity of both microscopies. They also confirmed the possibility of using europium as a model of gadoliniu...

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that the NKCC is involved in volume regulation, specifically regulatory volume increase (RVI), in resting skeletal muscle. Neurally and vascularly isolated rat hindlimbs were perfused with a bovine erythrocyte perfusate containing (42)K or (86)Rb as markers of unidir...

Abstract
Total body potassium is a valid, noninvasive technique for measuring FFM and BCM in PD patients. In our PD patient group, depletion of FFM and BCM as compared with controls was identified in the women but not in the men....

Abstract
K(+) uptake rates were measured in the anterior (An) and posterior (Pos) LV walls of pig hearts before and after regional ischemia and reperfusion using Rb(+) as a K(+) congener and 3D (87)Rb NMR imaging and spectroscopy as detection methods. The hearts were perfused by the Langendorff method with K...

Abstract
I describe a few recent developments in NMR studies of quadrupolar nuclei and demonstrate the potential of solid-state quadrupolar NMR in the study of biological systems. In particular, I discuss the application of solid-state NMR of (17)O, 67Zn, 59Co, 23Na, and 39K nuclei with a prognosis for futur...

Abstract
We injected 4-day-old neonatal mice with pure stable isotope 41K, equal to approximately 5% of their total body K. Calvariae were dissected 24 h later and then cultured for 24 h in medium without added 41K, either at pH approximately 7.4 (Ctl) or at pH approximately 7.1 (Ac), with or without the ost...

Abstract
Knowledge of the extent and location of viable tissue is important to clinical diagnosis. In principle, sodium (23Na) and potassium (39K) MRI could noninvasively provide information about tissue viability. In practice, imaging of these nuclei is difficult because, compared with water protons (1H), 2...

Abstract
We examined the K+ transport pathways in the lamprey red blood cells using 86Rb and stable isotope 41K as tracers measured by the mass spectrometric method. Upon replacing 4 mmol/l K+ with 4 mmol/l Rb+ in the incubation medium, the rate coefficient for unidirectional 86Rb influx (Kin) was significan...

Abstract
Addition of monesin to preparations of large unilamellar vesicles made from egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EPC) in sodium or potassium chloride solution and from dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) in sodium chloride solutions gives rise to dynamic 23Na- and 39K-NMR spectra. The dynamic spectra arise...

Abstract
1. Serial measurements of serum potasssium and total-body potassium were made on eighteen patients with megaloblastic anaemia before the start of therapy and during the period of recovery. 2. In those patients who presented with an initial packed cell volume of less than 25%, a mean decrease in ser...

Abstract
Ten to twenty millimoles per liter Mg did not affect 42-K exchange in control isolated blood-perfused rabbit septa, but abolished acetyl strophanthidin (ACS)-induced net 42-K loss (constant heart rate) without attenuating the mechanical response. In six septa ACS-induced net K loss was reduced from...

Abstract
Thallium-201 merits evaluation for myocardial visualization, kidney studies, and tumor diagnosis because of its physical and biologic properties. A method is described for preparation of this radiopharmaceutical for human use. A critical evaluation of 201Tl and other radiopharmaceuticals for myocard...

The emergence in the past 20 years of nuclear medicine as a distinct diagnostic discipline has been a major clinical advance. The relatively rapid evolution from the small laboratory limited primarily to the study of thyroid disease to the large unit in which radioactive tracers (radionuclides) are...

Abstract
The effect of external Na plus concentration on the transport of K plus was studied using K plus-depleted cells of a marine pseudomonad. K plus transport was found to be a saturable process and requires Na plus. The initial rates for K plus transport over a range of external K plus concentrations we...

Abstract
1. The efflux rate coefficients of sodium, potassium and chloride from immature oocytes of the toad Bufo bufo have been measured and found to be respectively, 0.0069, 0.0023 and 0.0034 min(-1).2. Replacement of external chloride by sulphate resulted in a fall in chloride efflux of about 50%. This ha...

Total Exchangeable Potassium (TEK) was measured in 31 elderly patients admitted to a geriatric assessment unit. The value in control cases ranged between 26 mEq/kg to 45.5 mEq/kg; the mean values for men and women were 35.5 mEq/kg and 28.4 mEq/kg, respectively. The test was repeated after one week i...

Abstract
Transport of K(+) by K(+)-depleted cells of marine pseudomonad B-16 (ATCC 19855) exhibited saturation kinetics. Rb(+) inhibited both K(+) transport and the K(+)-dependent transport of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) into K(+)-depleted cells of the organism in proportion to the concentration of Rb(+...
