Fig. 5From: Tissue-specific regulation of potassium homeostasis by high doses of cationic amino acidsEffects of the administration of different doses of ornithine HCl to mice on plasma (a), pancreas (b) and liver (c) potassium levels. l-Ornithine HCl was administered at the dose of 2, 3 or 4 g/kg (two injections, 1 h apart) and tissue potassium was determined 2 h after the last injection. Results are given as mean ± SE from six animals. Statistical significance: (*) P < 0.01, (**) P < 0.001, (***) P < 0.0001 versus controlBack to article page
