Report on the Fourth Conference for Federally Supported Human Nutrition Research Units and Centers.

The Fourth Conference for Federally Supported Human Nutrition Research Units and Centers, sponsored by the Interagency Committee on Human Nutrition Research, addressed two topics: nutrition and function, and nutrient interactions and toxicities. This article summarizes the conference's introductory remarks and the contents of the 34 papers presented. Future meetings of federally supported nutrition research units and centers will focus on other human nutrition research topics and will be held biennially.

Humans

Muscle buffer values.

The in vitro skeletal and cardiac muscle buffer values have been determined for normal and potassium-depleted dogs. Depletion produced a statistically significant decrease in buffer value for both skeletal 66 vs. 61 sl, and cardiac muscle, 64 vs. 55 sl. The decreased cardiac muscle buffer value was obtained despite no statistically significant loss of cardiac muscle potassium.
