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 ...

The difference between a 20 year old and a 40 year old physically is that there are more of accumulated acidic wastes at 40 than at 20. When we are born we have the highest alkaline mineral ...

THE evaluation of any acid–base disturbance requires a knowledge of the expected degree of compensation for a primary disorder of any specified magnitude. The most logical approach to this problem is ...
