The concentrations of urea, inorganic phosphorus, haemoglobin, plasma chloride, sodium, and potassium and the packed cell volume were determined on samples of blood from 70 Hereford steers that had been intensively finished on high-grain rations based on either wheat, barley, or sorghum grain. Oaten chaff was used as the roughage and half the steers had free access to sodium chloride. The inorganic phosphorus levels of 6.5 to 7.1 mg/100 m1 of blood were higher than those recorded in grazing cattle and were significantly different for the grain types. Blood urea levels were affected by roughage level, grain types, and access to sodium chloride. Plasma sodium but not chloride was affected by the type of grain and by sodium chloride.

Further observations on metabolic alterations in fasted rats cooled under ice to rectal temperatures approximating 15 °C are reported. In the hypothermic rats, metabolism of injected lactic acid does not appear to be impaired. There is however: increased concentration of inorganic phosphorus in blood but not in liver; increased concentration of glutathione in liver but not in blood; increased plasma chloride concentration; decreased red cell potassium concentration; increased red cell water content; decreased plasma water content. Hypothermia, under these conditions, did not alter concentrations of liver acid-extractable glycogen, red cell sodium, plasma sodium, plasma potassium, nor serum calcium. Administration of urea in saline prior to cooling elevated plasma sodium and potassium concentrations in hypothermic rats. These observations are discussed in relation to previously reported effects of hypothermia on carbohydrate metabolite levels.

Male rats weighing 207 ± 2.38 g were exposed to cold (2–3 °C) for a period of 7 days during which urine and faeces were collected daily and analyzed for phosphorus. As a consequence of cold exposure, urinary excretion of phosphorus is increased. With free access to food, the increased food (and hence phosphorus) intake of the animals compensates for the increased urinary excretion and a normal phosphorus balance results. Cold exposure was without significant effect upon blood concentrations of acid-soluble, inorganic, organic, or lipid phosphorus. Increased inorganic and decreased organic, non-lipid phosphorus levels were observed in livers of cold-exposed rats. These observations suggest the breakdown of organic phosphates (e.g. hexose and triose phosphates, adenosine phosphates, phosphocreatine) to inorganic phosphorus.

The phosphorus content was measured every three months in pasture and in blood, hair and bone of beef steers that had grazed pastures of low phosphorus content for 12 months. This was done to determine the effect that changes in pasture phosphorus levels had on the phosphorus content of animal tissue. The correlation coefficients between pasture phosphorus content and either the phosphorus content of hair or the concentration of inorganic phosphorus in plasma were not significant. The relationship between the phosphorus content of pasture (x) and dry fat-free rib-bone (y) was given by the equation y = 9.5 + 33.3x (r = 0.97; P < 0.05). It was concluded that bone phosphorus content could provide the best estimate of the phosphorus status of grazing cattle because it significantly reflected variation in the phosphorus content of pasture whereas blood and hair failed to do so.

Goldfish showed a significant reduction in their plasma sodium and calcium levels 1 h after receiving 50 i.u. calcitonin per kg body weight. When 100 i.u. calcitonin were injected there was a significant fall in circulating levels of both sodium and calcium and also of chloride ions compared with those found in untreated control animals. Administration of calcitonin to immature eels adapted to either freshwater or seawater conditions showed no significant change in plasma ion composition at doses of 10 i.u. per kg body weight or less. However, doses of 50 and 100 i.u. caused significant reductions in plasma sodium, chloride and calcium ion levels compared with sham-injected control animals. When immature eels were given 100 i.u. calcitonin per kg body weight there were significant reductions in the plasma levels of sodium, chloride and calcium ions but the timing of these changes was slightly different. In freshwater-adapted eels, the depression of plasma sodium was seen after 30 min and lasted for up to 2 h, whilst depression of plasma chloride and calcium was not seen until 1 h after injection. In addition, whilst the lowering of plasma chloride ions lasted up to 2 h after injection, the plasma calcium had returned to the preinjection control level by this time. In seawater-adapted eels the depression of sodium, chloride and calcium levels was seen at 30 min and the effect continued for up to 2 h after injection when the depression was no longer apparent.

The purpose of these studies was to determine status of metabolic processes in clinically healthy horses of sport breeds in spring period. Blood samples for biochemical studies were collected from 12 clinically healthy 7–9 month-old stallions of Ukrainian horse breed at Dnipropetrovsk region equestrian club. Protein (albumin, globulin, urea and creatinine) and mineral (common calcium and inorganic phosphorus) metabolic statuses, level of glucose, vitamins A and E and acid, as well as activity of hepatospecific enzymes (ALT, AST and AP) were determined using common techniques. It has been found that common protein level was within the limits of physiologic norm, although the level of albumins was decreased at the average rate of 12.0%, and the level of β- and γ-globulins was increased at the average rates of 5.2 and 11.3% respectively. AST activity was decreased at the rate of 38.0% regarding to physiological norm. Thereby, urea and creatinine concentrations were within the referent levels. Hyperglycaemia was observed in 50.0% of tested animals with maximal excess at the rate of 44.0%. Also, decreasing of common calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels was determined at the rate of 16.0 and 58.6%, vitamins А and Е — at the rate of 64.0 and 48,6% respectively, in comparison to lower level of physiological norm. The average index of acid capacity reached maximal referent levels. At the same time, it was increased in 33.3% of animals. Therefore, detected changes in biochemical indices in horse blood evidence that various metabolic disorders progress in clinically healthy stallions at spring and may furtherly lead to the appearance of metabolic syndrome

A laboratory experiment was carried out at the Department of Soil Sciences and Water Resources, College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad. Silty clay soil was treated with three salt solutions (NaCl, CaCl2 and mixed NaCl–CaCl2). Homogeneously packed soil columns (10 cm, 40 cm) were leached six times using tap water. Effluent samples were collected to determine ion concentration Cl-, Ca++, Na+, K+ and Mg++. Breakthrough curves were used to estimate solute transport parameters (retardation factor, peclet number) using an analytical solution of convection-dispersion equation (CDE) by CXTFIT program. The results showed that relative concentration of chloride was increased rapidly with calcium chloride, which increased sodium leaching rate at starting of breakthrough curve. Sodium chloride increased water requirements for calcium displacement. Results indicated a good fitting of convection-dispersion equation with breakthrough curves data. The best-fit were used to calculate peclet number, retardation factor and dispersion coefficient. When soil was treated with calcium chloride, Peclet number of chloride was increased from 3.13 to 6.48, while it has been decreased for calcium, sodium and potassium. Sodium chloride decreased peclet numbers of chloride, calcium and sodium. Also mixed salts increased sodium peclet number from 1.01 to 9.02. Results showed, calcium chloride decreased retardation factor of chloride from 1.59 to 0.50, while it has been increased from 1.39, 1.58 to 175.00, 493.36 for each of sodium and potassium, respectively. Retardation factor of calcium was decreased when soil was treated with sodium chloride or mixed salts. Dispersion coefficient was decreased for chloride, and increased for calcium and magnesium. When soil was treated with calcium chloride, dispersion coefficients have been increased from 24.29, 25.56 to 40.51, 40.89 cm2hr-1 for sodium and potassium, respectively.

Young barley plants, Hordeum vulgare cv. Chevron, were subjected to a sodium chloride concentration of 100 m-equiv/l. In a "continued" treatment, the salinity stress was maintained for 15 days. In a "removed" treatment, sodium chloride was removed from the substrate after 5 days, and the subsequent response was studied over a period of 10 days.
