Morphologic abnormalities in potassium-deficient dogs.

Potassium deficiency was produced in 16 dogs by means of a diet containing less than 0.03% potassium. Decreases in serum potassium were first observed after 3 weeks. Morphologic changes occurred only in heart, skeletal muscle, and kidney. Focal myocardial necrosis was observed in 6 of 16 deficient dogs, and skeletal muscle degeneration and necrosis were observed in 14 of 16 deficient dogs. A complex nephropathy consisting primarily of epithelial hypertrophy and hyperplasia in the collecting tubules of the inner stripe of the outer medulla occurred in all the deficient dogs.

Aspirin: intestinal damage in rats.

Lesions induced by aspirin in the small intestine of the rat were visualized after 4 hours by the intravenous administration of a 5 percent solution of pontamine sky blue, 6 BX dye. Dose-response curves in fasted and fed rats indicated that the fed rat was about eight times more susceptible to aspirin-induced intestinal damage than was the fasted rat, while the fasted rat was about 13 times more susceptible to aspirin-induced gastric damage than was the fed rat.
