Interrelations between the physiology of sodium, potassium and water, and nutrition
1978
Patrick, J.
The relationships between altered nutrition and body composition of sodium, potassium and water are reviewed. The whole body content of these substances is regulated via the kidney. The effects of nutrition on the renal handling of water and electrolytes is emphasized. The physiological mechanisms involved in cellular homeostasis of sodium and potassium are discussed with particular reference to energy costs. Alterations in mineral metabolism in protein energy malnutrition, edema, potassium adaptation, fasting and hypertension are described. Many references are listed.
