Disease relevance of POTASSIUM SULFATE

• Adding methionine to the diets significantly lowered the incidence and severity of dermatitis, but cystine and potassium sulfate failed to modify dermatitis [1].
• Chronic toxicity and tumorigenicity study of aluminum potassium sulfate in B6C3F1 mice [2].
• OC-108 is a novel sclerosing agent for hemorrhoids, containing aluminum potassium sulfate (alum) and tannic acid as its main ingredients [3].

High impact information on POTASSIUM SULFATE

• METHODS: BALB/c mice were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) in the presence of aluminum potassium sulfate and then subjected to intragastric saline or OVA challenges [4].
• In the first test, aluminum nitrilotriacetate (Al-NTA), aluminum chloride, aluminum potassium sulfate, or saline was injected ip, employing male Wistar rats [5].
• Using a benzene-kerosene gradient column calibrated with potassium sulfate standards, the specific gravity (SpG) of cortical tissue from each group was measured and compared (ANOVA, P < .05) [6].
• Voles were presented simultaneously with a) low- and high-potassium diets formulated with either potassium sulfate, potassium chloride, or a mixture of potassium chloride and potassium citrate; or b) paired combinations of high-potassium diets containing different anions [7].
• Weekly intradermal injections with aluminium potassium sulfate were used as adjuvant [8].

Anatomical context of POTASSIUM SULFATE

• The mechanism of primary afferent depolarization (PAD) was studied in the isolated frog spinal cord using intrafibre recording (microelectrodes filled with 0.6 M potassium sulfate) from large myelinated axons of dorsal roots [9].
• The parasite in mouse peritoneal fluid, or in potassium sulfate buffer (pH 8.2), where the pHi was demonstrated to be increased to 7.9, became motile when acidic buffer was substituted for the original suspension medium [10].

Associations of POTASSIUM SULFATE with other chemical compounds

• Aqueous dilution causes the soluble potassium sulfate to dissolve while still allowing the insoluble manganese compounds to be removed by filtration and so reduces the weight of precipitate [11].

Gene context of POTASSIUM SULFATE

• The tumorigenic potential of aluminum potassium sulfate [A1K (SO4)2 12H2O, APS], a compound which exists widely in the environment, was investigated in B6C3F1 mice [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of POTASSIUM SULFATE

• The time courseof potassium-induced peritubular membrane depolarization was measured during a switch from 3- to 90-meq potassium sulfate solution in superfusion as well as in vascular perfusion experiments [12].
