Potassium in Health and Disease

Potassium in Health and Disease

Organic chemistry

Potassium is a fundamental ion at the core of vital processes, including neuronal signaling, muscle contraction, and fluid-electrolyte balance. Featuring cutting-edge research on potassium transport in health and disease and uniquely integrating a nutritional perspective, this book presents a comprehensive view that ranges from molecular mechanisms to whole-body health. Specifically, it examines the interplay between dietary potassium and the functions of potassium channels, pumps, and co-transporters in digestion, highlights the roles of KATP and BK channels in vascular and metabolic regulation, and explores the role of potassium homeostasis in preeclampsia.
