Diets rich in animal protein and cereal grains and deficient in vegetables and fruits may cause low-grade metabolic acidosis, which may impact exercise and health. We hypothesized that (1) a ...

Describes acid-base physiology and discusses the diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis, as well as plasma potassium disorders. Metabolic ...

Your body is constantly performing a delicate balancing act that most of us never think about. While we’re busy worrying about calories and carbs, a microscopic chemistry experiment determines how ...

Introduction: Peripheral venous blood sample may be used to obtain acid-base balance parameters (PVA-BP) measured in rapid point-of-care test (POCT) analyzers on admission to an emergency department ...

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), is a weak base used as an antacid and leavening agent. In aqueous solution, bicarbonate buffers acid by accepting protons, forming carbonic acid ...
