When and if you exercise, signal molecules are bound by the receptor proteins on your muscle cells, signalling all your muscles to contract in certain ways.

∙ 9y agoA receptor protein is a protein that binds to a specific molecule, enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule. For example, the muscles of a persons exercising couldn't contract without receptor proteins and signal molecules that tells the muscles when to contract and when to relax.

How much potassium in Smart water?
There is 2.5mg of potassium in 8 oz of Smart Water. It is added for taste, not to replenish potassium lost through intense exercise/ exertion.
Who is at high risk of potassium deficiency?
If you experience excessive fluid loss, through vomiting, diarrhea, or sweating, or if you take certain medications, you may be at risk for potassium deficiency. In addition, a diet that is high in sodium and low in potassium can negatively affect potassium status. The Standard American Diet (SAD), which is high in sodium-containing processed foods and low in fruits and vegetables, contains about two times more sodium than potassium. Many health experts recommend taking in at least five times more potassium than sodium. The symptoms of potassium deficiency include muscle weakness, confusion, irritability, fatigue, and heart disturbances. Athletes with low potassium stores may tire more easily during exercise, as potassium deficiency causes a decrease in glycogen (the fuel used by exercising muscles) storage.
When cells break down which electrolyte is lost from the cell?
Potassium, the main electrolyte found inside the body's cells (intracellular) and stored in muscle fibers along with glycogen, plays a key role by helping transport glucose into the muscle cell. Potassium also interacts with both sodium and chloride to control fluid and electrolyte balance and assists in the conduction of nerve impulses. When glycogen breaks down to supply energy for your workouts, muscle cells are depleted of potassium. As a result, there is a greater concentration of potassium in your blood and greater quantities are lost in the urine. Symptoms of potassium depletion include nausea, slower reflexes, irregular heartbeat, drowsiness, and muscle fatigue and weakness. Although potassium deficiencies are rare, they may occur under certain conditions -- during fasting, diarrhea and when using diuretics. Replenishing potassium after loss during exercise is important, but hyperkalemia (high serum potassium levels) can cause electrical impulse disturbance and possible death. Individuals should never take potassium supplements in large doses without the advice of a physician.

What does Cappilarisation of the Alveoli mean?
Cappilarisation is where the capillaries in the lungs and surrounding the alveoli increase in numbers, making gaseous exchange in the lungs more efficient so that the respiratory system is more efficient gnereally and during exercise, meaning the heart does not have to work at a higher level to supply nutrients and oxygen to muscles and organs.

What kind of mental health issue can exercise help with?
Exercise is generally recommended for people with mild to moderate depression as a way to help alleviate the symptoms. Exercising releases endorphins, which are natural mood-elevators in the body, so this can help counteract some of the depression. However, exercise by itself is not likely to completely cure the depression.

What is a Challenge test for hyperkalemic periodic paralysis?
An attack of hyperkalemic PP can be induced with administration of potassium after exercise during fasting. These tests are potentially hazardous and require careful monitoring.
