摘要

Although biblical in origin, the phrase "The salt of the earth" first found its way into common English prose in Geoffrey Chaucer's Summoner's Tale in 1386 and is used to denote utmost worthiness of an individual. In addition to his literary talents, Chaucer was well versed in science and his Treatise on the Astrolabe, often cited as the first example of technical writing in the English language, begins with the address to his son "I perceive well by certain evidences thine ability to learn sciences touching numbers and proportions". The cationic constituent of common salt, Na+, justifiably maligned as a dietary risk factor when consumed in excess, is critical for normal cell function and the maintenance of its "numbers and proportions" (i.e. homeostasis), and the consequences of disruptions therein, form the focus of this Special Issue. In order to achieve homeostasis, mammalian cells expend a large amount of metabolic energy, through the Na+/K+ ATPase or "Na+ pump", to maintain the intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) at an almost 15-fold lower level than the extracellular Na+ concentration (in the absence of such active Na+ extrusion, [Na+]j would arrive at equilibrium in a cardiac myocyte at -80 mV at a staggering 3.3 mol/L!). Having invested heavily in establishing a large electrochemical Na+ gradient, the cell exploits this to generate electrical impulses in excitable tissues, such as nerve and muscle, and to power the energetically unfavourable transport of other ions (Ca2+, H+, HCOJ) and metabolites (e.g. amino acids, glucose) across the cell membrane.
