Interpretation Of Results

Because of important role of sodium and potassium in maintenance of homeostasis the interpretation of their concentration should require special attention. In routine two potentiometric methods are used; direct (undiluted samples) and indirect (diluted samples). Results obtained by indirect method reflect the real status in case of physiological proportion of plasma water and stable particles, otherwise (lipemia, hiperproteinemia, alcoholemia) the results are falsely decreased leading particularly to pseudohiponatremia and pseudonormonatremia, what should be considered in clinical interpretation of results.

SUMMARY Sodium and potassium levels were determined in the rat endometrium and uterine washings during normal and 'delayed' implantation. Both endometrium and uterine washings of normal rats differed from those of 'delayed' animals in their electrolyte concentrations. A dose of oestradiol dipropionate (1 μg/rat) capable of inducing implantation in 'delayed' rats (ovariectomized and maintained on progesterone) did not evoke any significant changes in electrolyte concentration of either the endometrium or uterine washings. These findings are discussed in the light of a hypothesis regarding delayed implantation in rats.

Aldosterone is the most important circulating mineralocorticoid. It is secreted by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland and plays a major role in sodium and potassium metabolism by binding to epithelial mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) in the renal collecting duct, promoting sodium resorption and potassium excretion. The action of aldosterone on its classic target epithelia has been extensively studied, and many of the signaling events that mediate its effects have been described. Recently, there has been increased interest in aldosterone actions on the cardiovascular system, which are mediated through nonclassical actions. These include local tissue production, nongenomic actions, and effects on nonepithelial targets. In this review article, we focus on the effects of aldosterone in nonepithelial tissues that are mediated through MR, especially cardiovascular effects.
