44 females aged 18-55 years were selected for the study on the basis of lower prevailing potassium intake.
They were randomly allocated to one of two groups who took either 80 mmol/day of KCl (Slow-K, Ciba Geigy), or matching placebo for the first two 4-week treatment periods.
The treatments were reversed during the second 4-week period. Blood pressure, heart rate, urinary volume, electrolytes and creatinine, were measured weekly during a screening period and the two 4-weeks treatment periods. - GLP compliance:

Results and discussion
- Results:
- NOAEL > 85 mg/kg body weight.
No significant changes in blood pressure or heart rate. Significant increases in potassium urinary excretion (P<0.001) and plasma potassium level
(equivalent to 0.2 mmol/l; P<0.007).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- NOAEL > 85 mg/kg body weight.
No significant changes in blood pressure or heart rate. Significant increases in potassium urinary excretion (P<0.001) and plasma potassium level
(equivalent to 0.2 mmol/l; P<0.007).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
