Sixteen Harnai males were used to evaluate the influence of varying levels of fourwing saltbush hay on feed and water intakes as well as the blood serum mineral status in a completely randomized design. The animals were grouped randomly into four, with four animals in each. The four groups were randomly allotted low, medium, high and very high levels of saltbush hay supplementation in addition to wheat straw. The animals were given fresh water at free of choice. Weekly body weight was recorded for each individual animal. Blood serum was collected for mineral contents. The experiment lasted for eight weeks. The inclusion of saltbush leaves in the diet showed a non-significant effect on the total dry matter intake. There has been a significant increase in the water intake when very high levels of saltbush were included in the ration. Lower levels showed no effect on the water intake. The animals maintained their body weight from week 1 to week 8. No treatment by weeks interactions on the potassium and sodium levels were detected. However higher levels of saltbush increased significantly the potassium and sodium contents in the serum. Calcium contents were significantly(p<0.01) lowered with the inclusion of saltbush leaves in the diet. Whereas Phosphorous contents showed an increasing(p<0.05) trend with the higher levels of saltbush. No clinical or sub-clinical toxicological symptoms were observed in the sheep with the higher mineral contents.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of sodium-potassium ratio on insulin resistance and sensitivity in Korean adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Subjects were 3,722 adults (1,632 men and 2,090 women) aged 40-69 years participating in the Korean genome and epidemiology study_Ansan and Ansung study. Insulin resistance was assessed using homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HoMA-IR) and fasting insulin, and insulin sensitivity was assessed by using the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI). The 24-h urinary sodium and potassium excretion were estimated from spot urinary samples using the Tanaka formula. The generalized linear model was applied to determine the association between urinary sodium-potassium ratio and insulin resistance. RESULTS: HoMA-IR (P-value = 0.029, P-trend = 0.008) and fasting insulin (P-value = 0.017, P-trend = 0.005) levels were positively associated with 24-h estimated urinary sodium-potassium ratio in the multivariable model. QUICKI was inversely associated with 24-h estimated urinary sodium-potassium ratio in all models (P-value = 0.0002, P-trend < 0.0001 in the multivariate model). CONCLUSION: The present study suggests that high sodium-potassium ratio is related to high insulin resistance and low insulin sensitivity. Decreasing sodium intake and increasing potassium intake are important for maintaining insulin sensitivity. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings in longitudinal studies.

장기적으로 소금 섭취량을 달리 한 정상 및 고혈압쥐에서 atrial natriurectic peptide (ANP) 가 혈압, renin-aldosterone 및 신배설에 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 생후 6주된 spontaneously hyper-tensive rate (SHR)와 Wistar 숫쥐를 각각 저염, 정상염 및 고염 (2, 10, 25 mmol NaCl/100g diet) 군으로 나누어 실험 식이를 6주동안 먹었다. 실험 당일 아침에 쥐를 ether로 마취시킨 상태에서 대퇴 동맥과 정맥 및 방광에 catheter를 삽입한 다음에 쥐를 restraining cage에 넣어 고정시켰다. 마취가 깨고 혈압이 안정된 후에 정맥관으로 0.9% saline을 0.02ml/min의 속도로 80분간 주입하고 안정시 뇨와 혈액을 채취하였다. 그후 ANP를 380 ng/kg/min의 속도로 20분간 주입하였으며 그동안 10분 간격으로 요를 채취한 다음 채혈하였다. 혈장 aldosterone 농도와 renin 활성도 (PRA)를 방사면역법으로 측정하였다. ANP를 주입하기 전에 SHR 고염군의 평균동맥압은 정사염이나 저염군보다 유의하게 높았으나, Wistar의 혈압은 소금군 사이에서 차이가 없었다. ANP 주입전의 혈장 aldosterone 농도는 소금 섭취량이 많을수록 유의하게 낮았으며, Wistal 군이 SHR 보다 높은 값을 보였다. 혈장 renin 활성도는 소금군 간에 차이가 없었으며, Wistar와 SHR 간에도 차이가 없었다. 요량이나 Na, K 배설률은 소금군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었으나, SHR이 Wistar 보다 높은 경향을 보였다. Hematocrit 값도 소금군 간에 차이가 없었으나, SHR의 값이 Wistar 보다 유의하게 높았다. ANP를 주입하는 동안 혈압이 점진적으로 감소하여 20분후에는 $20{\sim}30\;mmHg$ 정도 감소하였으나, 각 소금군사이에 차이가 없었다. 그러나, ANP에 의한 혈압 강하 정도는 SHR이 Wistar 보다 유의하게 높았다. ANP 주입 후에는 모든 군에서 aldosterone과 혈장 renin 활성도가 유의하게 감소하였는데, aldosterone의 감소 정도는 저염군에서 가장 크게 나타났다. ANP의 이뇨 및 Na 배설 항진효과는 Wistar에서는 소금군 간에 차이가 없었으나, SHR 에서는 고염군의 Na 배설률이 저염군보다 유의하게 높았다. ANP의 혈압강하 효과나 Na 배설 항진효과가 SHR에서 Wistar 보다 유의하게 높게 나타났으나, 이뇨반응, renin 및 hematocrit의 변화에는 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과에서, 장기적으로 소금 섭취량이 다름에 따라 ANP의 효과 중에서 특히 aldosterone 분비나 SHR의 Na 배설에 차이가 나타났는데 그 작용 기전은 확실치 않다.

Objective: To examine the effects of sodium intake on the correlations between the saltsensitive gene ${\alpha}$-adducin 1 (ADD1) and inflammatory cytokines in Korean childhood obesity. Methods: A total of 2,070 students aged 8-9 years old participated in this study. The anthropometrics, serum biochemistry profile, inflammatory cytokines, and three-day dietary assessment were analyzed according to sex, obesity degree, and ADD1 polymorphism. Results: The obesity prevalence was higher in boys (15.6%) than in girls (11.9%). Boys also showed higher values in anthropometrics; lipid, glucose, and insulin profiles; total calorie intakes, as well as those of sodium and calcium compared with those of the girls. The more obese were boys and girls, the higher were the anthropometrics and the blood levels (total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood sugar, and insulin), but the lower was high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The obese boys had significantly higher sodium and Na/K intakes, while the obese girls had higher visfatin level and Na/K intake. In addition, an increase in the risk factors for blood pressure and obesity in ADD1 variants was identified. Serum tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$($TNF-{\alpha}$) significantly increased with increasing sodium intake in the ADD1 W allele carriers, regardless of sex. The presence of obesity with the ADD1 W allele induced inflammatory accelerators such as $TNF-{\alpha}$ or C-reactive protein(CRP) with higher sodium intake. Conclusion: Obese children with an ADD1w allele can experience a more complex form of obesity than non-obese when exposed to an obesity-inducing environment and need to be controlled sodium intake in the diet.

NaF를 용량별로 Sprague Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐에 경구 투여했을 때, 체중 및 장기 중량, 혈청 지질성분, 혈당 및 단백질 함량과 기본식이를 급여한 대조군인 BD군을 비롯하여 기본식이에 농도별 NaF를 경구 투여한 군들로 나누어 5주간 실험 사육한 결과, 흰쥐의 체중 증가량은 NF25군, NF30군 및 NF50군에서 대조군보다 유의적인 차이를 보이며 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 각 장기무게에서의 변화 중 간장과 심장에서는 대조군에 비해 NaF 경구 투여 군에서 낮게 나타나는 경향이 관찰 되었으며(p<0.05), 폐, 뇌, 신장, 비장 및 고환에서의 각 군의 장기무게는 유의적인 차이가 없었다(p<0.05). 혈청 중 총 콜레스테롤, LDL 콜레스테롤, 유리 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 인지질, 혈당 농도는 대조군보다 NaF 경구 투여한 군에서 NaF 농도가 높아짐에 따라 증가하였고, HDL 콜레스테롤 농도는 NaF 농도에 따라 점차 감소하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 혈청 중 총 단백질은 NF50군에서 유의적인 차이를 보이며 낮게 나타났으나 나머지 군에서 유의적 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 알부민 농도와 글로불린 농도 또한 NF50군에서 가장 낮은 결과치로 나타났다. 반면 알부민/글로불린 비는 NaF 농도와 관계가 없는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 일정 이상 농도의 NaF 경구 투여는 흰쥐의 체중 및 지질성분을 증가시키는 것으로 판단되며, 이는 비만 및 이상지질혈증을 초래할 수 있을 것으로 추정된다.

아연의 공급수준이 다량 무기질 함량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 흰쥐를 대상으로 아연을 결핍, 적정, 과잉 수준으로 공급하여 혈청 및 조직의 칼슘, 마그네슘, 나트륨, 칼륨함량을 분석하였다. 아연 공급수준을 달리했을 때 혈청의 다량 무기질 함량은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았지만 간과 비장에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 아연의 결핍은 간의 칼슘 함량을 감소시키는 영향을 주었고, 아연의 과잉은 비장 마그네슘과 칼륨 함량을 감소시키는 결과를 나타냈다. 결론적으로 아연의 결핍과 과잉이 간과 비장의 다량 무기질함량에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났는데, 특히 아연의 결핍이 더 많은 조직 내 무기질 함량 변화를 가져왔다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 아연의 결핍수준을 적정수준의 50%, 그리고 과잉을 200%로 설정하였으나 앞으로 좀 더 세분화된 아연의 결핍과 과잉 수준에 대한 체계적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료 된다.

The assessment of sodium intake is complex because of the variety and nature of dietary sodium. This study intended to develop a dish frequency questionnaire (DFQ) for estimating the habitual sodium intake and a short DFQ for screening subjects with high or low sodium intake. For DFQ112, one hundred and twelve dish items were selected based on the information of sodium content of the one serving size and consumption frequency. Frequency of consumption was determined through nine categories ranging from more than 3 times a day to almost never to indicate how often the specified amount of each food item was consumed during the past 6 months. One hundred seventy one adults (male: 78, female: 93) who visited hypertension or health examination clinic participated in the validation study. DFQ55 was developed from DFQ112 by omitting the food items not frequently consumed, selecting the dish items that showed higher sodium content per one portion size and higher consumption frequency. To develop a short DFQs for classifying subjects with low or high sodium intakes, the weighed score according to the sodium content of one protion size was given to each dish item of DFQ25 or DFQ14 and multiplied with the consumption frequency score. A sum index of all the dish items was formed and called sodium index (Na index). For validation study the DFQ112, 2-day diet record and one 24-hour urine collection were analyzed to estimate sodium intakes. The sodium intakes estimated with DFQ112 and 24-h urine analysis showed $65\%$ agreement to be classified into the same quartile and showed significant correlation (r=0.563 p<0.05). However, the actual amount of sodium intake estimated with DFQ112 (male: 6221.9mg, female: 6127.6mg) showed substantial difference with that of 24-h urine analysis (male: 4556.9mg, female: 5107.4mg). The sodium intake estimated with DFQ55 (male: 4848.5mg, female: 4884.3mg) showed small difference from that estimated with 24-h urine analysis, higher proportion to be classfied into the same quartile and higher correlation with the sodium intakes estimated with 24-h urine analysis and systolic blood pressure. It seems DFQ55 can be used as a tool for quantitative estimation of sodium intake. Na index25 or Na index14 showed $39\~50\%$ agreement to be classified into the same quartile, substantial correlations with the sodium intake estimated with DFQ55 and significant correlations with the sodium intake estimated with 24-h urine analysis. When point 119 for Na index25 was used as a criterion of low sodium intake, sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value was $62.5\%,\;81.8\%\;and\;53.2\%$, respectively. When point 102 for Na index14 was used as a criterion of high sodium intake, sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value were $73.8\%,\;84.0\%,\;62.0\%$, respectively. It seems the short DFQs using Na index 14 or Na index25 are simple, easy and proper instruments to classify the low or high sodium intake group.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Despite the importance of a low-iodine diet (LID) for thyroid cancer patients preparing for radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy, few studies have evaluated dietary intake during LID. This study evaluated the amount of dietary iodine intake and its major food sources during a typical diet and during LID periods for thyroid cancer patients preparing for RAI therapy, and examined how the type of nutrition education of LID affects iodine intake. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 92 differentiated thyroid cancer patients with total thyroidectomy were enrolled from Seoul National University Hospital. All subjects completed three days of dietary records during usual and low-iodine diets before $^{131}I$ administration. RESULTS: The median iodine intake was $290{\mu}g/day$ on the usual diet and $63.2{\mu}g/day$ on the LID. The major food groups during the usual diet were seaweed, salted vegetables, fish, milk, and dairy products and the consumption of these foods decreased significantly during LID. The mean energy intake on the LID was 1,325 kcal, which was 446 kcal lower than on the usual diet (1,771 kcal). By avoiding iodine, the intake of most other nutrients, including sodium, was significantly reduced during LID (P < 0.005). Regarding nutritional education, intensive education was more effective than a simple education at reducing iodine intake. CONCLUSION: Iodine intake for thyroid cancer patients was significantly reduced during LID and was within the recommended amount. However, the intake of most other nutrients and calories was also reduced. Future studies are needed to develop a practical dietary protocol for a LID in Korean patients.

To determine the effect of sodium plus potassium to chloride ratio and lysine level on blood pH, blood acid-base parameters, lysine-arginine antagonism and growth performance, four hundred and thirty two chicks of 3 days age were used in a completely randomized $3{\times}3$ factorial experiment. Variables contained three levels of lysine (0.8, 1.2 and 1.6%) and dietary electrolyte (100, 200 and 300 mEq/kg). Birds fed 200 mEq/kg and electrolyte had the best growth rate and feed efficiency, followed by those fed 300 mEq/kg and 100 mEq/kg electrolyte. It is proposed that high levels of dietary electrolyte may improve the growth of chicks fed diets containing excess lysine by increasing lysine catabolism. High or low levels of lysine and dietary electrolyte resulted in higher mortality than those of optimum level (1.2%) of lysine and 200 mEq/kg of electrolyte balance. When the electrolyte level was increased, the pH, $pCO_2$, base excess, $HCO_3{^-}$ and total $CO_2$ of blood plasma were increased. The utilization of nutrients was changed when the electrolyte and lysine were manipulated. Plasma chloride tended to be greater in chicks receiving high chloride diet and was the highest in chicks fed the high lysine diet. Plasma sodium and potassium were unaffected by dietary lysine. Diet containing high lysine decreased the level of arginine and excess dietary electrolyte increased arginine level in plasma. It may be concluded that cation supplementation tended to alleviate the lysine-arginine antagonism but chloride exacerbated. Tibia bone length and ash contents were significantly affected by electrolyte balance and lysine level.
