How can you use “excretion” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
It has been reported before that an increased excretion of orotate in sick children may not be uncommon and that a positive allopurinol load test may indicate unrecognized mitochondrial disease, making orotic acid as a potential marker of mitochondrial dysfunction [ 35 ] . A potential link between mitochondrial cytopathies and urea cycle dysfunction has also been suggested by the findings of hypocitrullinemia in patients with neurogenic weakness, ataxia and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP) syndrome (Mendelian Inheritance in Man database *551500) caused by a T8993G mutation in mtDNA that triggers ATPase deficiency [ 36 37 ] . It was hypothesized that the NARP mutation would cause complex V deficiency in the small intestine as well, thus reducing the availability of mitochondrial ATP required for citrulline synthesis.
In science class I learned the planets, by distance from the sun (“ M ary V ery E arly M ade J ane S ome U nusually N ice P ies”--Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto ), and the functions of living things (“Sensible M otorists R efrain F rom D riving A utomobiles A t E xcessive R ates”--sensation, movement, respiration, food-taking, digestion, absorption, assimilation, excretion, reproduction).
However, a literature search revealed that a few strains of rats, studied primarily for investigation of hypertension and stroke, have been reported to be sitosterolemic as well [ 15 16 ] . We hypothesised that these rat strains may be mutated in either Abcg5 or Abcg8 . Tissue (and plasma) plant sterol levels in the Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rat, the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) were significantly higher than in Wistar and WKA rats fed either a regular chow diet or diets that have higher plant sterols and these were correlated with increased death, or red cell hemolysis etc. [ 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 ] . Dietary sterol absorption rates were increased, with a decrease in sterol excretion [ 16 ] , characteristics similar to that observed in sitosterolemic patients.
Continuous infusion produced 48 mmol more net sodium excretion (95% CI 16-80 mmol, P = 0.01), and less toxicity.
Individuals with no history of nephropathy and no albumin excretion were considered free of nephropathy.
