“…On the other hand, results from another study in which sodium intake was 2.21g/d (ca. 100mmol/d), the low est among all the studies, showed apparent negative Na balances (10). These data appeared to be different from the remainder of the studies with regression equations being calculated in two ways, that is in all eleven stud ies (n=109) and in the nine studies that did not include the two studies with the highest and lowest Na intake (n=90).…”

“…In such cases, results of balance studies that determine the estimated average requirement (EAR), that is the balance between intake and output, are the sole sources of information available for deter mining requirement. We therefore conducted 11 bal ance studies in 109 young Japanese adults, with the results of some of these studies having been published previously (1,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”

“…2). It therefore appears that some unknown mechanism may move Na from bone to the blood-stream (7,10,17). On the other hand, when Na intake is excessive, not only does accel eration of Na excretion in urine and sweat occur but Na concentrations also increase in body fluid and bone.…”

SummaryThis study was conducted to estimate the requirements of sodium (Na) and potassium (K) in Japanese young adults. From 1986 to 2000,109 volunteers (23 males, 86 females), ranging from 18 to 28y old, took part in 11 mineral balance studies after written informed consent had been obtained. The duration of the study periods ranged from 5 to 12d, with a 2-4d adaptation period. Foodstuffs used in each study were selected from those commercially available. The Na and K content of the diet, feces, urine and sweat were mea sured by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results of a study in which Na intake was 6.87g/d (ca. 300mmol/d), the highest of all the studies, showed apparent positive Na balances. In contrast, another study in which Na intake was 2.21g/d (ca. 100mmol/d), the lowest of all the studies, showed apparent negative Na balances. These two studies seemed to differ from the other studies, as shown by regression equations calculated from either data of all the studies (n=109) or data that did not include the two studies (n=90). The dietary intakes of Na and K ranged between 38.56-142.23 and 26.77-74.42mg/kg body weight (BW)/d, or 2.21-6.87 and 1.83-3.61g/d, respectively in the complete data, and 43.71 -96.40 and 26.77-63.70mg/kg BW/d, or 3.06-4.06 and 1.83-2.68g/d, respectively in the data that did not include the two studies. The intakes of the two minerals were positively cor related. Na intake (Intake) was correlated positively with apparent absorption (AA) of Na, which was also correlated with Na urinary output (Urine). In the data that did not include the two studies, Na balance (Balance) was not correlated significantly with either Na Intake (r2=0.005) or AA of Na (r2=0.006). However, analysis of all the data showed a significant correlation between Na Balance and both Na Intake (r2=0.361) and AA of Na (r2=0.360). In the complete data, the mean value and upper and lower limits of the 95% confidence interval for the regression equation between Intake and Balance for Na, when balance was equal to zero (i.e mean, upper and lower limits), were 55.824, 60.787 and 50.862mg/ kg BW/d, respectively. K Intake was correlated positively with AA of K, which was also cor related with both Urine K and K Balance. There was a significant correlation between K Intake and K Balance in both the complete data (r2=0.213) and the data that did not include the two studies (r2=0.116). In all the cases, mean, upper and lower limits for K were 39.161, 41.782 and 36.540mg/kg BW/d, respectively. Intakes of Na and K did not corre late with their respective AA rates (%). Within the ranges of K Intake in this study, K Bal ance was affected markedly by K Intake itself as well as by Na Intake. However, in the case of Na, when the data of the highest and lowest Na intake studies were excluded from the analysis, Na Balance did not correlate with Na Intake, whereas the data of all the studies showed Na Balance was affected strongly by Na Intake. The data of this study allowed the estimated average requirements (EARs) for both mi...

Summary Background: The origin of moisture in diarrhea feces is unknown but may represent the unabsorbed part of intestinal contents or alternatively, body fluid excreted into the digestive canal. If the latter mechanism contributes to moisture in the feces, active transport of water (H 2 O) associated with ion exchange channels may be involved. Objective: To investigate this possibility we measured the content of moisture and minerals (sodium [Na] [Mn]) in feces collected during a 12-d metabolic study on 11 young Japanese female students. Design: The study was carried out as part of a human mineral balance study. The same quantity of food was supplied to each of the subjects throughout the study without consideration of body weight. Fecal specimens were collected throughout the study and were separated into those originating from the diet during the balance period based on the appearance of the ingested colored marker in the feces. Results: The moisture content of the feces ranged between 53 and 92%. Na content in the feces was low and stable when the moisture content was below 80%, whereas it increased up to serum levels when the moisture content increased above 80%. On the other hand, K content increased when compared to dry matter base. However, when comparing concentration/g moisture, K content increased when moisture was below 70%, but decreased when this rose above 70%.

Effects of a 21 day metabolic study on serum opsonic activity in female college students, assessed by a chemiluminescence technique

A metabolic study to evaluate nutritional balance, in which subjects have to eat all the foods supplied and maintain a set schedule, is thought to be stressful for the subjects. The effects of stress on the immune system have been studied extensively. However, there are no studies of non-specific immunological changes during a metabolic study. Serum opsonic activity (SOA) is a direct and suitable indicator of non-specific humoral immunity. In this study, we used luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (LmCL) to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation from pooled human neutrophils as an indicator of SOA. We also measured serum immunoglobulin levels and plasma myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Eleven female college students took part in this 21 day metabolic study after giving their written informed consent. The results obtained suggest that the metabolic study has almost no effect on immunoglobulin levels. According to MPO levels, neutrophils in vivo may be deactivated to some minor extent. In contrast to these results, peak time (PT) and peak height (PH) of LmCL were changed significantly during the metabolic study. In conclusion, SOA increased during the 21 day metabolic study. There was no significant correlation between SOA and serum immunoglobulin levels on any of the study days.
