Minimize your sodium intake.
Add 10 ml of methyl alcohol and approximately 0.3 g of sodium borohydride (Minimize exposure of the borohydride to the atmosphere. A measuring dipper may be used).
The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet contains a high intake of plant foods, fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and nuts, while minimizing intake of red meat, sodium, sweets, and sugar-sweetened beverages [ 165].
Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis with powder form of NaBH4 was adopted in order to minimize the detrimental effect of sodium ion.
Mean nutrient adequacy ratio for nutrients recommended to be maximized (ie, vitamins A and C, protein, dietary fiber, iron, calcium) was less than optimal, and mean ratio for those recommended to be minimized (ie, total fat, cholesterol, sodium, and sugar) exceeded recommendations.
Prior to hybridizations, microarrays were treated with a solution containing sodium borohydride to minimize non-specific autofluorescence from the spotted material as described previously [78].
Potassium hydroxide was selected over sodium hydroxide to minimize the electrode sodium error following the example and guidance of Avdeef and the Sirius Company.
Finally, sodium should be minimized because of its positive association with hypertension and CVD (7).
Urine was collected in graduated cylinders containing 100 μl of 0.1% sodium azide (to minimize bacterial growth) and 1 ml of mineral oil (to avoid evaporation).
Slides were prepared by blocking according to the manufacturer's recommendations with an additional treatment of 66 mM sodium borohydride to minimize background autofluorescence [ 40].
To minimize the variation caused by sodium azide, we retrieved all the mock-operated and the putative ADF-ablated animals from the agarose pad after the same incubation time (12 min).
