Acid-base balance is one of the most tightly regulated physiologic systems in the human body. In healthy individuals, chronic systemic acidification is highly unlikely because multiple compensatory ...

The importance of acid-base balance and effects of dietary induced acidosis were acknowledged and investigated intensively during the symposium. Mild metabolic acidosis was identified as a significant ...

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 ...

This review describes a method of analyzing acid–base disorders that incorporates insights from the traditional, bicarbonate-centered model and the Stewart (or strong ion) model (Table 1). 1–6 ...
