1. Electrolytes part 2

- PART 2 ELECTROLYTES.
- If you begin to do research about taking care of your athletic horse, youre likely to come across some mention of electrolytes: "Be sure to give your horse electrolytes when exercising in hot weather," you may read, or perhaps, "Add an electrolyte supplement to your feeding program to replace the horses losses due to sweat. ... So they sweat more, wouldnt you just give more of the same kind of electrolytes? Well, unfortunately its a bit more complicated than that.
- First, lets talk about what electrolytes are and why the horse (and the rider too!) needs them in his body. ... Certain electrolytes are essential to the proper operation of the bodys cells, namely sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl-), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca+ ), and magnesium (Mg+). ...
- The electrical charges of these ions are a critical part of maintaining fluid balances throughout the body so critical that the body will maintain a dehydrated state rather than rehydrate when the electrolyte level is too low (and thereby dilute the concentration of electrolytes this means that an electrolyte-depleted horse will NOT drink).
- So, if youre astute your next question will be,"Where do these ions come from on a daily basis, and how come thats not good enough for a distance horse?" Well, the ordinary Electrolytes of Daily Living just come from the horses good food. Grass thats grown in good soil (and hay, since electrolytes dont evaporate) is an excellent source of the necessary ions. ... If a distance horse in training (or a competitive horse in another discipline) sweats up, working hard for an hour or two or three, it can easily replenish the electrolytes its just lost from the load of food its carrying in its gut, and from extra-cellular stores and the bloodstream. ...
- As soon as we take a horse beyond this level of exercise, it will begin sweating out more electrolytes than it can replenish from a normal diet. Electrolytes are not stored in the body they have to be available in the gut at the time theyre needed, or theyre excreted. ...
- They have shown that, while a small amount of sugar is helpful in speeding electrolyte uptake from the gut, too much will delay stomach emptying and slow the electrolytes passage into the gut. Supplements formulated for distance horses now include more soluble forms of the required electrolytes (like citrate, acetate, chloride, and sulfate), and a small amount of sugar (usually dextrose). ... (Note that the distance horse electrolytes can be fed on a daily basis, though. ...
- "Now this is all well and good," you say, "but which brands can I use, and where can I get them?" There are a handful of electrolytes suitable for distance horses, available from "trail rider" tack shops and discount vet supply mail order retailers. ...
- First, I will say that your horse should not get a maintenance dose of electrolytes every day, since excess electrolytes will simply be excreted in the urine with the bodys other wastes. While it might seem that this would provide the body with a consistent supply of the needed minerals, the truth is that the bodys response will be to develop and fine-tune the chemical pathways that do the excreting, rather than the uptake of electrolytes! Instead, simply make sure that the horses regular diet contains adequate amounts of minerals and a balanced calcium:phosphorous ratio.
2. STRONG AND WEAK ELECTROLYTES
- www.unco.edu
- Activity: Strong and weak electrolytes.
- There are strong and weak electrolytes. Different types of electrolytes produce different kinds of ions in solution: hydrogen ions (Arrhenius acids); hydronium ions (Brønsted acids); hydroxide ions (Arrhenius bases); and other cations and anions in the form of salts. From the menu below, you can reach activities to help you understand strong and weak electrolytes.
3. Electrolytes
- www.umaine.edu
- Electrolytes Are The First Line Of Defense For Treating Scours.
- Do not add electrolytes to colostrum, milk or milk replacers.
- Mild to moderate cases of dehydration (zero to seven percent weight loss) can be treated with oral electrolytes. More severe dehydration (eight percent and above) should be treated aggressively with both oral and intravenous electrolytes based on the recommendations of your veterinarian. ...
- Daily Amount of Electrolytes.
- As the dehydration becomes more severe, you need to increase the quantity of electrolytes fed. Based on the table, a 100-pound calf that is six to eight percent dehydrated will require three to four quarts of electrolytes daily for the first two days of treatment.
- A study at the University of Illinois compared the effectiveness of withholding milk from scouring calves treated with electrolytes. ... In treatment 1, calves received a traditional diet in which with oral electrolytes were given and milk was withheld for the first two days of treatment. In treatment 2, calves received a full dose of electrolytes and 25 percent of their normal milk allotment. In treatment 3, calves received a full dose of electrolytes and 100 percent of their normal milk allotment. ...
- This indicates the adding oral electrolytes to a normal feeding schedule is important to maintain normal growth in the scouring calf.
- Depending on the type of electrolyte used; allow 15 minutes to two hours between feeding and treatment with electrolytes for adequate digestion of the milk. ...
- In addition, electrolytes are unpalatable to the calf. ...
- But remember, feeding electrolytes is the most important thing you can do to help the scouring calf. ...

- www.goaskalice.columbia.edu
- Nutrients What's the main purpose of electrolytes? Originally Published: February 23, 2001 .
- What is the main purpose for electrolytes? Why does the human body need them? .
- Electrolytes are vital to one's health and survival. ... Since electrolytes carry a charge, they can conduct electrical current in water, which itself in its pure form is a poor conductor of electricity. This characteristic of electrolytes is important because the current enables electrolytes to regulate how and where fluids are distributed throughout the body, which includes keeping water from floating freely across cell membranes. ...
- To control fluid passage across cell membranes, cells regulate the movement of electrolytes into and out of them, which causes water to follow the charged particles around wherever they go. ... This is also how electrolytes transport nutrients into cells and wastes out of them. ... In addition, the presence of electrolytes determines the acidity or pH of some fluids, especially blood. ...
- As you can see, our bodies have developed mechanisms to keep electrolytes within specific ranges. If one loses large amounts of fluids quickly, however, electrolytes may become unbalanced. ... In these cases, water and electrolytes need to be replaced. ...
- A well balanced diet usually supplies an adequate amount of electrolytes. ...

- 2 classes of electrolytes (weak and strong) .
- Figure 2 Schematic representation that shows why electrolytes conduct current.
- For strong electrolytes often i is equal to the number of ions formed, so for NaCl and HCl i = 2, for Na2SO4 and BaCl2 i = 3.
- Most of the fundaments of ion conductivity have been laid in the 19th and 20th century and people have observed two classes of electrolytes:.
- Weak electrolytes (partially dissociated ions).
- Strong electrolytes (completely dissociated ions; however, a salt that is a strong electrolyte in one solvent may behave as a weak electrolyte in another. ...
- L0m can be reliably extrapolated for strong electrolytes but can not for weak electrolytes. Below we will describe a method how L0m can be determined accurately for weak electrolytes.

- Remember that the theory of weak electrolytes is derived for dilute solutions.
- Strong electrolytes.
- The Ostwald dilution law completely failed to explain the behavior of strong electrolytes as function of the concentration, so we need to find another explanation. Experimentally it was found by Kohlrausch that the conductivity of strong electrolytes is a function of the square root of the concentration:.

- 17 ELECTROLYTES AND MENTAL ILLNESS .
- I will be dealing with work carried out, for the most part in the past decade, into electrolytes and the affective disorders, for it is in this area that most work has been recently devoted. ...
- Electrolytes have an extraordinarily central place in biological processes. Physiological research has shown the fundamental importance of electrolytes in the functioning of the cell. ...
- Investigations over the last 20 years on invertebrate giant nerve fibers have shown the role of electrolytes in the nervous system. Although the study of the giant axon of the squid seems remote from any investigation that we may be able to carry out on our patients, radioactive-isotope techniques enable us to study the intra-and extracellular concentrations of electrolytes in man. ... We do not yet know the physiological processes controlling the intracellular concentration of sodium and other electrolytes, nor do we know the functional consequences of alterations in their distribution, except that in certain very limited disorders, such as periodic paralysis, these effects may be profound. The concentration of electrolytes in cells and the extracellular water can influence other important biochemical processes, such as transport of amino acids across cell membranes and many intracellular metabolic processes. It is possible that any widespread abnormality of electrolytes could in themselves alter cellular excitability and produce further biochemical abnormalities. It is worth remembering this when considering the role of electrolytes in depression, as it must be remembered that there is increasing evidence of changes in amine metabolism as well as in electrolytes in the affective disorders. ...
- The study of water and electrolytes in affective disorders goes back for half a century,1 and the earlier studies were of the balance type. ...
- The Distribution of Electrolytes Measured by Isotope Dilution Studies .
- Moreover, the balance studies give no information about the distribution of electrolytes between cells and the extracellular fluid, which, as we have seen, is of such fundamental biological importance. ...
- The distribution of electrolytes is measured in man by techniques based on the principle of isotope dilution. ...
- Again it should be emphasized that the isotope dilution techniques provide only indirect evidence about intracellular electrolytes. ... However, if one takes these results as indicating alterations in intracellular electrolytes, then we have calculated that these could cause changes in both the resting and action potential of about 7 millivolts and that these changes would have considerable functional consequences. ...
11. Electrolyte Solutions For Dogs
- www.flyballdogs.com
- The most likely explanation for why dogs do not need electrolytes and people do is that people thermoregulate by sweating, dogs thermoregulate by panting. Human sweat contains electrolytes (that's why sweat tastes salty), and the electrolytes in sweat are lost to the body. Panting does not result in large losses of electrolytes. ...
