Sentences with phrase «sodium out of cells»

Many of these are active transporters, for instance pumping sodium out of cells even though it's against the concentration gradient.

Bound to the cell membrane, Na ± K+ATP ase uses the energy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules to pump sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell, maintaining a charge gradient that allows ions to flow through open channels.

Not exact matches

Sodium plays a role in your critical body functions by regulating the movement of water in and out of your cells.

This small protein molecule contains a loop which fits, like a key in a lock, into the ion channel proteins found on nerve cell membranes, which are used to transport sodium and potassium ions in and out of the cell.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins have spotted a strong family trait in two distant relatives: The channels that permit entry of sodium and calcium ions into cells turn out to share similar means for regulating ion intake, they say.

Further, the interleaved and porous structure of the paper electrode offers smooth channels for sodium to diffuse in and out as the cell is charged and discharged quickly.

The newly described nemertides attack tiny channels in cell walls that control the amount of sodium flowing in and out of the cell.

Action potential When about 0.1 volt kicks in (1/100, 000 the strength of a static shock from a rug), negatively charged potassium rushes out of the cell, and positively charged sodium floods in at 100,000,000 ions per second.

Water is essential to almost every organ in the body, where it helps flush out toxins and carries nutrients to cells; it also aids in digestion, lowers fluid retention and helps eliminate excess sodium from the body, all of which contribute to weight control.

Dr. Justin Marchegiani: Except if it's low — if it's low, it'll bring it up much higher because you know, let's say your adrenals are really key at holding on to minerals and if you're decreasing your mineral retention because the aldosterone that your adrenals make is low because of the adrenal dysfunction that's happening, you will pee out more minerals and that — that's important for regulating blood pressure and that's also important for their sodium potassium pumps, so if we don't have enough high quality sodium, those sodium potassium pumps kinda that creates the gradient and how things go in and out of the cell, now if don't have adequate sodium on board, that can definitely be a stressor for the body.

As a transporter of nutrients in and out of cells, sodium works to promote healthy cell development and regulation.

Sodium helps your cell membranes maintain a healthy structure and allows certain molecules to be transported in and out of the cells.

The Na / K pump operates by transporting two potassium ions into your cells while moving three sodium ions out of your cells.

In order to compensate for this, potassium is leaked out of the cells so that the sodium to potassium ratio remains constant.

While folate is a key vitamin in the cellular regeneration processes, these minerals have an important role for the healthy function of the body's cells and for their detoxification, helping them flush out excess water, toxins, and sodium, and help maintain an alkaline environment.

In particular, magnesium - dependent proteins are used to facilitate the transport of different minerals into and out of cells, acting as gates for sodium (Na +), potassium (K +) and calcium (Ca +).

Putting your cells back into the proper potassium - sodium balance drives excess water and fluids out of the body not only assisting in cellular detoxification but in weight loss as well.

105 calories 76 percent vitamin C (antioxidant and immune booster) 25 percent vitamin A (antioxidant and vision) 11 percent vitamin B6 plus other B vitamins (hormone production in brain and heart disease prevention) 9 percent healthy probiotic fibre 9 percent copper (copper is a co-factor for many vital enzymes plus production of red blood cells) 7 percent potassium (to balance out our high sodium intake) 4 percent magnesium

But there's also a potential synergy: sodium - air batteries / fuel cells (there's not a sharp dividing line, except in the minds of researchers) could easily «breath» air in but essentially pure O2 out.
