A chloride blood test, or serum chloride level, can be part of a comprehensive or basic metabolic panel. Some health conditions, including dehydration, can affect chloride levels. Chloride is an ...

What Is a Chloride Blood Test? The chloride blood test, sometimes called a Cl test or serum chloride test, is a simple blood test that measures your chloride levels. Why do chloride levels matter? You ...

A molecular movie has captured in detail the process of an anion transported across the cell membrane by a light-fuelled protein pump. Researchers have unravelled the mystery of how light energy ...

This is the solution to a case we presented recently. You may review the case here. The patient had complained of dyspnea, and an abnormal electrolyte panel revealed a decreased bicarbonate level of ...

This review describes a method of analyzing acid–base disorders that incorporates insights from the traditional, bicarbonate-centered model and the Stewart (or strong ion) model (Table 1). 1–6 ...

Figure 2: Comparison of chloride efflux, measured using a chloride-selective electrode, from synthetic vesicles mediated by compounds 1–4 in nitrate and sulfate solution. Figure 3: Results of chloride ...

Many bacteria and unicellular algae have light-driven pumps in their cell membranes: proteins that change shape when exposed to photons such that they can transport charged atoms in or out of the cell ...
