Loop of Henle

:Sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl-) ions are reabsorbed from the urine by secondary active transport by a Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC2).

Manu Parrotlet

Sodium is one that is sought after by many species, and is in abundance on mineral licks.

Metal gate

Earlier PMOS technologies were not sensitive to this effect because the positively-charged sodium was naturally attracted towards the negatively-charged gate, and away from the channel, minimizing threshold voltage shifts.

Metal nitrosyl complex

One of the earliest examples of a nitrosyl complex to be synthesized is Roussin's red salt, which is a sodium salt of the anion Fe2(NO)4S22−.
