What differences in the urinary excretion of vitamin C do you predict you will observe with the two different doses of 100 mg and 500 mg?
In patients with diabetes mellitus, not enough insulin is produced; as a consequence, blood glucose levels increase. If blood glucose levels rise high enough, the kidneys are unable to absorb the glucose from the glomerular filtrate, and glucose "spills over" into the urine. What effect does this glucose have on urine concentration and volume? How does the body adjust to the excess glucose in the urine?
Explain how the heart, kidneys, and several glands all work together to cause the excretion of more sodium ions in the urine when a person has eaten salty food?
