A study was conducted to estimate Na intake in 30 young and 62 middle-aged female Koreans. For each subject, nondiscretionary Na intake was estimated from 2-day dietary records optimum gustation of salt was tested using beef broth with different salt concentra-tions. and 24-hour urinary Na excretion was measeured from pooled 2-day urine samples. Total daily Na intake was calculated from 24-hour urinary excretion and discretionary Na intake was calculated as difference between total and nondiscretionary Na intake was calculated as difference between total and nondiscretionary Na intake. Mean daily 24-hour urinary Na excretion of the young and middle-aged women was 184.6mEq and 224.6mEq. Mean values of optimum gustation of salt in young and middle-aged subjects were 0.431% and 0.489% The differences between the two groups were significant. Nodiscre-tionary Na intakes of the two groups were not significantly different, . Calculated total and discretionary Na intake of middle-aged women(245.1mEq) were significantly higher than young women(220.3mEq and 211.0mEq) were significantly higher than young women(210, 3mEq and 169, 7mEq) Percent of discretionary to total Na intake was 85.7% in middle-aged and 79.4% in young women. Age BMI urinary Na and K excretions optimum gustation of salt were signficantly correlated with blood pressure of the subjects. Results of the present study confirms the high level of sodium intake especia-lly of discretionary Na intake among Korean women.

rat에 주사된 lithium 이온의 배설에 미치는 수종의 corticosteroid의 영향을 검색한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. fludrocortisone을 10mg/kg 투여하여 혈청내 lithium 농도를 줄일 수 있었고, lithium의 뇨중 배설량도 증가시켰다. 2. dexamethasone을 0.1mg/kg 투여하여 혈청내 lithium 농도를 줄일 수 있었고, 1mg/kg을 투여하여 lithium의 뇨중 배설량도 증가시켰다. 3. dexamethasone에 의하여서는 혈중 $Na^+$의 $K^+$에 대한 농도비가 감소하였고, 반대로 뇨중 $Na^+$의 $K^+$에 대한 농도비가 감소하였다. 이상의 실험 결과를 미루어 corticosteroid는 lithium의 뇨중 배설량을 증가시키고 그 혈중 농도를 감소시킬 수 있으나, 이러한 작용은 신장을 통한 $Na^+$ 이나 $K^+$의 이동과는 전혀 상관이 없다고 생각된다.

전라북도 완주군의 북부 5개면 지역에서 Na, K의 요중 배설의 양상을 파악하고 일일 식염 섭취량을 추정하며 Na, K 배설과 혈압과의 상관관계를 파악하기 위해, 1987년 1월부터 3월에 걸쳐 40개 마을을 순회하며 30세 이상의 성인에 대한 건강검진을 실시하고 537명으로 부터 12시간 야간뇨를 수집하였다. creatinine의 체중당 일일 배설량이, 일정한 연령층에서는 비교적 일정하다는 성질을 이용하여 수집된 시료를 선발하였다. 이 검사값이 피검자가 속한 연령층의 신뢰범위에 포함되는 소변만을 정확한 12시간 야간뇨로 인정하였는데 537명 중 345명의 소변이 이에 해당되었다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 12시간 동안 소변으로 배설된 전해질의 양은 Na의 경우 고혈압군에서는 179.5 mEq, 정상혈압군에서는 203.8 mEq였고 전체의 평균값은 193.5 mEq였다. Na 배설에 있어서는 두 군 사이에 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나 12시간 동안 배설된 K의 양에서는 고혈압군이 정상혈압군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 낮은 값을 보였고 (고혈압군이 17.5 mEq, 정상혈압군 23.1 mEq, p<0.01) 전해질 간의 비율에서도 K/creatinine에서 고혈압군이 정상혈압군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮은 값을 보였다(고혈압군 0.040, 정상혈압군 0.050, p<0.05). 2. Na의 일일 배설량은 386.9 mEq였으며 이를 NaCl의 양으로 환산한 값은 22.4 g이었다. 1일간 섭취된 Na의 90%만이 소변으로 배설된다고 가정할 때 NaCl의 1일 섭취량은 평균 24.9 g으로 추정되었다. 추정된 1일 NaCl 섭취량에서 고혈압군과 정상혈압군 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었으나(23.2g vs 26.3g) 고혈압군의 평균 식염 섭취량이 정상혈압군의 평균값보다 다소 적은 결과를 얻었다. 3. 전체 조사 대상자 중 수축기 혈압이 120 mmHg 이상인 집단에 한하여 혈압이 높아질수록 K 배설량이 감소하는 부분적 역(逆) 상관관계를 볼 수 있었고 Na/K 비(比)는 대상자 전체에서 혈압의 증가와 함께 증가하였다 (p<0.05).

Changes in handling of $Li^+$ by contralateral kidney during acute $Li^+$ loading were investigated immediately after unilateral ureteral obstruction. Carotid artery, jugular vein, renal vein and ureter of experimental animal were catheterized and renal venous flow was shunted to .external jugular vein. In experimental group right ureter was ligated. One to two hours after operation a single shot of LiCl solution (2 mEq/kg) was intravenously injected and then .arterial, renal venous blood and urine samples were taken sequentially for 1 to $1{\frac{1}{2}}$ hours. Urine volume, plasma and urinary concentrations of $Li^+$, $Na^+$ and $K^+$ were measured and urinary excretion of them were calculated. Results obtained were as follows: 1) In experimental group urine volume, urinary excretion of $Na^+$, and $K^+$ by contralateral kidney after unilateral ureteral obstruction were slightly larger than mean value of both kidney in control group. 2) During acute $Li^+$ loading contralateral kidney in experimental group showed limited $K^+$ excretion, but urinary flow and $Na^+$ excretion were comparable to mean value of both kidney in control group. 3) Urinary osmolar concentration in experimental group was much lower than that in control group, and it was maintained at low level even after Li loading. 4) In experimental group plasma$Li^+$ concentration decreased more slowly than in control group after a single shot of LiCl solution. 5) Urinary excretion of $Li^+$ in experimental group was markedly decreased, even lesseer than mean of both kidney in control group. 6) From the above results it was concluded that immediately after unilateral ureteral obstruction contralateral kidney showed normal water and $Na^+$ diuretic response to Li load but urinay $Li^+$ excretion was decreased and reclaimed $Li^+$ to systemic circulation.

This study was undertaken to investigate the acute effect of caffeine consumption on the change of mineral concentration in serum and urinary mineral excretion in healthy young females. On two separate mornings at one week intervals, each subject drank a coffee which contained no caffeine and 3mg/kg body weight caffeine. To obviate dietary effects on mineral concentration in serum and urine, each subject fasted at least ten hours before consuming the test beverage. At one, two, three and four hours, serum and urine production collected seperately for measurement of sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium concentration. The results were as following : 1) Mean age of subjects was 20.6$\pm$0.32, Mean body mass index of subjects was 21.64$\pm$0.89, which was within $\pm$10% of ideal body weight. 2) Total urine volume of caffein groups for 4 hour after caffeine consumption was higher than that of decaffeine one, but urine pH was unchanged after caffeine consumption. Total urinary four hour excretion of creatinine was not affected by caffeine consumption and creatinine clearance also was not different from the control value. 3) In serum, mean three hour content of sodium(p<0.01) and phosphorus was higher in the subject given the caffeine. Mean serum magnesium and calcium contents were lower in caffeine group than that of decaffeine one. Mean serum magnesium content for three hour after caffeine ingestion was affected by caffeine consumption(p<0.001). Mean serum content of potassium was unaffected by caffeine consumption. 4) Total urinary four hour excretion of sodium, increased significantly after caffeine consumption(p<0.05), while total urinary four hour excretion of potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium was unchanged after caffeine intake. Urinary excretion of Na, Ca, P and Mg was greatest at one hour after caffeine consumption, especially urinary sodium and potassium excretion was significantly high(p<0.05, p<0.01). The above results show that only 3mg caffeine per kg body weight increase the urinary macro mineral excretion in healthy young females.

한국인은 많은 양의 염류를 섭취하며 저단백식을 주로 한다는 사실이 1960년대로부터 알려져왔다. 일련의 연구로부터, 한국인이 많은 양의 염류를 섭취하는 것은 저단백식과 관계가 있는 것으로 여겨져왔다. 지난 30년간 한국인의 식사중 단백성분은 크게 증가해 왔다. 본 연구는 1990년 현재 한국 농촌지역 거주자의 소변 중에 배설되는 나트륨과 칼륨의 양 및 총 소변 배설량을 측정하여 유의할 만한 변화가 있었는지를 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 또, 도시지역 거주자와의 비교를 위해 34명의 농촌지역 거주자와 9명의 도시지역 거주자를 대상으로 하였다. 조사기간중 조사대상자를 일상생활을 그대로 영위하도록 하였다. 34시간 동안 배설된 소변을 수집하여 그중의 나트륨, 칼륨, 크레아티닌 농도를 측정하였다. 마지막 뇨 수집 시에는 정맥혈을 채취하여 혈장 중의 나트륨, 칼륨, 총단백 농도를 측정하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 혈장 중의 나트륨, 칼륨, 총단백 농도는 정상범위 내에 있었다. 2) 농촌인구에서는 24시간 소변중의 나트륨, 칼륨 배설량은 각각 $255{\pm}95.6$mEq/day, $45{\pm}15.1$mEq 이었으며 24시간동안 수집된 소변의 총량은 $1800{\pm}514.3$ml/day이었다. 이 수치를 1960년의 자료와 비교할 때 수집된 나트륨 배설량은 감소추세를 보였으나 칼륨과 총 소변배설량에 있어서는 별 변화를 발견할 수 없었다. 3) 농촌거주자의 소변중 Na/K 비는 도시거주자에 비해 유의하게 높았으며 도시지역거주자에 있어서 소변중 나트륨 배설량의 감소추세가 더욱 두드러졌다. 4) 이 수치를 서양인의 수치와 비교하면 아직도 한국 농촌지역 거주자의 염분 섭취가 높음을 보이고 있는 반면 칼륨에 있어서는 서양인에 비해 훨씬 낮음을 알 수 있다. 5) 염분과 단백의 섭취 사이에 있을 수 있는 관계를 고찰했다.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of sodium cholride supplementation on bone metabolism in female rats consuming a low calcium diet. Twenty five female rats were divided into three dietary groups (control Na : 0.1038%, 1% Na : 1.036%, 2% Na : 2.072%). All experimental diets contained 0.27% Ca and were fed to rats with deionized water for 7 weeks. Bone mineral density(BMD) and bone mineral content(BMC) of total body, spine and femur were measured using energy x-ray absorptiometry(DEXA) by small animal software. Then Ca efficiency was calculated from BMD and BMC. Serum Ca, P, Na and urine Ca, P, Na were determined. Urinary pyridinoline, serum ALP were measured to monitor bone resorption. Following 7 weeks, sodium cholride supplemented groups had higher urinary Ca excreteion, urinary pyridinoline, crosslinks value and serum ALP. There was no significant difference in case of serum Ca among all groups. Sodium chloride supplemnted groups had lower Ca effciency of total, spine and femur BMD and BMC than that of control group. In conclusion high salt intake not only increases urinary Ca excretion as urinary Na excretion does but also increase bone resorption and decrease Ca efficiency of each bone. It is been suggested that high salt intake may be harmful for bone maintenance. Therfore, the decrease of salt intake to the level of recommendation would be desirable.

In order to evaluate the effect of habitual Na and Ca intake on blood pressure regulation, we measured the habitual dietary intakes of Na and Ca, urinary excretion of Ca, Na and K, and plasma level of renin activity, aldosterone, and indices of Ca metabolism in 27 untreated hypertensive women and 30 age-matched normal women on a free diet. Hypertensive and total subjects were divided into four groups according to habitual dietary intakes of Na and Ca as low Na-low Ca(LNLC), low Na-high Ca(LNHC), high Na-low Ca(HNLC), and high Na-high Ca(HNHC). HNLC hypertensive group showed the lowest level of plasma renin activity, 25-(OH) Vit D$_3$, calcitonin and serum total Ca, and presented the highest level of PTH and urinary excretions of Na/K and Ca/Cr. There were no significant difference in plasma level of aldosterone and urinary excretion of Na and K among four hypertensive groups. When all subjects were divided into four groups according to the same method, HNLC group showed the highest level of blood pressure with no statistical significance and the lowest level of calcitonin and total serum Ca. The above results indicated that renin-aldosterone system and Ca regulating hormone has a mutual relationship in hypertension. Na and Ca may interact each other, rather than affecting independently blood pressure control. As a result, considering the fact that daily balance of Na and Ca intakes affects Na and Ca regulating hormones and urinary excretion of Na and Ca, it may be involved in blood pressure control. These results suggest that maintaining an adequate intake of Ca with less intake of Na may prevent from the risk of hypertension. (Korean J Nutrition 34(4) : 409~416, 2001)

Changes of urinary aldosterone excretion, concurrent sodium and potassium excretion following furosemide administration were studied in normotensive young Korean with high sodium intake, moderate sodium restriction and marked sodium depletion. After intravenous injection of furosemd 40mg, plasma and urine samples were collected at every thirty minutes for two hours. Plasma-and urinary aldosterone, electrolyte concentration and urine flow rate were measured by means of radioimmunoassay or flamephotometry. Relations of urinary aldosterone to concurrent sodium or potassium/sodium ratio, and of urinary aldosterone to concurrent plasma aldosterone activity were studied. Following were the results: 1. Furosemide administration resulted in a increased urinary aldosterone concentration and unchanged or somewhat decreased sodium concentration in course of time after the injection. 2. Urinary potassium concentration showed initial decrease and subsequent increase in course of time after furosemide administration and it resulted in a gradual increase in urinary potassium/sodium ratio. 3. Studying the relations between urinary aldosterone excretion and potassium/sodium excretion ratio, or sodium excretion were meaningless because of the urinary flow rate after the injection was decreased with time course. 4. Furosemide administration showed a good relationship of urinary aldosterone concentration to concurrent potassium/sodium ratio rather than concurrent sodium concentration in subjects with sodium restriction, but no meaningful relationship was detected in subjects with high sodium intake because increasing rate of the ratio was not so wide. 5. Furosemide also resulted a reasonable relation of plasma aldosterone concentration to concurrent urinary aldosterone concentration especially during low sodium intake. 6. Above results suggested that relation of urinary aldosterone concentration to K/Na ratio following furosemide administration during sodium restriction is significant and has a benefit to reduce the variation induced by kalemic change showing in the diragram for daily aldosterone to sodium excretion.

It has been considered that high Na intake, and low Ca/K intake are related to the incidence of hypertension. In this preliminary study, dietary Na, K, and Ca intake and their urinary excretion in rural area in Kyungpook province were measured to recognize the relationship between those blood pressure-related minerals and blood pressure regulation in elderly people in rural area of South Korea. Sixty eight subjects (male 39, female 29) aged over 60 were randomly selected in rural area in South Korea. Blood pressure and soup saltness were measured, and dietary intake using 24 hours recall and urinary excretion of Na, K and Ca were measured. Depending on the blood pressure level, the data were analyzed using non-parametric ANOVA of Kruskal Wallis analysis on the basis of categorizing of one of four blood pressure groups, such as normal, high normal, hypertension I and hypertension II. Mean systolic (124.2$\pm$15.1 mmHg) and diastolic (79.0$\pm$10.2 mmHg) blood pressures were within the normal range. Soup saltiness and systolic pressure was positively correlated (p < 0.05). Even without statistical significance, dietary Na intake was higher in the upper systolic blood pressure groups then in the lower ones, which suggested higher Na intake caused the increase of blood pressure. No consistency was shown between the urinary concentration of Na, K, Ca level and blood pressure level, respectively. From the results of this study, it is assumed that high Na intake might be related to the incidence of hypertension. Further study with large sample size is needed to supplement the limitation of this preliminary study. (Korean J Nutrition 36 (1) : 75-82, 2003)
