TL;DR: Changes in total-body Na(+) exhibited longer infradian rhythm periods without parallel changes in body weight and extracellular water and were directly related to urinary aldosterone excretion and inversely to urinary cortisol, suggesting rhythmic hormonal control.

TL;DR: It is concluded that single 24-hour urine collections at intakes ranging from 6 to 12 g salt per day were not suitable to detect a 3-g difference in individual salt intake, suggesting long-term steady-state sodium balance in men simulating a flight to Mars.

TL;DR: It was found that the blood compatibility of the membrane was improved by covalent immobilization of heparin at its surface, however, PSf-Hep membrane showed higher flux recovery after BSA solution filtration, which revealed antifouling property of PSf -Hep membranes.

TL;DR: Treatment with the biocompatible polysulfone SF dialyser seems to be better suited to lower serum AGE levels and to eliminate their precursors.

TL;DR: The normalization of phosphate plasma levels is therefore an important goal in the treatment of end-stage renal disease patients, and modifications of the treatment schedule have been described in the literature as measures to influence the phosphate balance consistently.
