Potassium is the main cation of intracellular fluid, where it is important for the regulation of membrane potential, maintenance of osmotic pressure, electrolyte homeostasis and acid-base balance. Potassium also works in controlling nerve impulses, biosynthesizing proteins, and converting blood sugar into glycogen. Although extracellular potassium accounts for only 2%, both the increase and the decrease in its amount are of great importance (1). Simply put, potassium plays a significant role in maintaining normal cell function. Thus, potassium homeostasis in the plasma membrane is very important. Electrolyte balance is important to the overall functioning of the body (2).
Potassium is one of the electrolytes, i.e. ions that show electrical conductivity - they have an electric charge: positive or negative. Electrolytes, i.e. potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium have numerous biological effects on the human body, and their imbalance has a strong influence on our body. Electrolyte balance is essential for bone structure and function, muscle physiology, neuronal processes, oxygen transport, acid-base homeostasis, and many other biological processes (1).
It is estimated that on average the potassium content of an adult human is about 1.6-2.0 g / kg body weight, so the body of an adult weighing 70 kg contains about 110-137 g of potassium. Total potassium in the body reflects lean tissue mass, approximately 90% -95% of this potassium is intracellularly in muscles and bones. Therefore, there is differentiation depending on the degree of body muscling (3).
As the main intracellular cation, potassium acts to maintain the acid-base balance and maintain the isotonic and electrodynamic function of the cell. It activates many enzymatic reactions in our body. It plays a fundamental role in the transmission of nerve impulses, contraction of the heart muscle, skeletal and smooth muscles, tissue synthesis, gastric secretion and kidney function. Potassium lowers mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure (4). Summarizing the above information, it is worth remembering that potassium helps in the proper functioning of the nervous system and muscles and supports the maintenance of proper blood pressure (5).
