in carbohydrate solution and
osmolality provoked stomach upset and side ache during intermittent, high intensity exercise (76 %).
Osmolality simply means the concentration of particles
in a solution.
Because of its high molecular weight and low
osmolality, Waxy Maize is able to basically bypass the stomach and get immediately absorbed
in the small intestines.
Studies have determined that the
osmolality of a carbohydrate drink will influence the rate of resynthesis of glycogen
in muscle after depletion after exercise.
Serum
osmolality, a marker of hydration, was greater
in the mean of the dehydrated trials
in which a ≥ 1 % level of dehydration was achieved (P = 0.006) compared to EU.
Cluster Dextrins ™ low
osmolality yields rapid gastric - emptying, which equates to «getting
in and getting out» and feeling ready for your next meal without feeling bogged down.
For example, high
osmolality and high acidity or soluble fiber slow down the gastric emptying rate and reduce glycemia
in vivo, but they may not alter the rate of carbohydrate digestion
in vitro.
One measured fluid, electrolyte, and renal indices of hydration over eleven days of caffeine consumption
in human subjects, finding that doses of up to 6 mg caffeine per kilogram of body weight had no effect on body mass, urine
osmolality (urine concentration), urine specific gravity (concentration of excreted materials
in urine), urine color, urine volume, sodium excretion, potassium secretion, creatinine content, blood urea nitrogen (forms when protein breaks down), and serum levels of sodium and potassium.
The resulting
osmolality of the body is an important factor to consider
in fluid replacement
in order to monitor any potential shifts
in osmolality.
Hypersthenuria (USG > 1.015) occurs when the USG and
osmolality increase or are greater than what is present
in the plasma.
Hypertonicity occurs when enough free water has been lost to increase the concentration of solutes
in body fluids to a level greater than normal plasma
osmolality (285 to 295 mOsm / kg).1 The hypothalamus detects the hypertonicity (increase
in plasma concentration) and stimulates thirst.
Excessive corticosteroid medications or too little sodium and potassium
in the blood (hyponatremia, hypokalemia) as occasionally occurs on high doses of diuretics can both lower your pet's blood
osmolality.
Knowing your pet's blood
osmolality (either by calculating it or observing its blood Na, K, Cl and BUN levels) is critical to deciding the proper ingredients for IV fluids your vet will give
in emergency, life - threatening situations.
Your dog or cat's blood
osmolality is determined by a simple mathematical formula that uses the concentration of dissolved sodium (Na +) glucose and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) found
in your pet's blood sample.
Occasionally, blood
osmolality will go up
in ordinary diabetes due to very high blood sugar levels or due to failing kidneys that allow blood urea levels to become too high or due to too much sodium
in the blood (hypernatremia),
