potassium bicarbonate/obesity

We postulated whether interventions capable of restoring euglycemia would correct whole-body protein metabolism, shown previously to be elevated in hyperglycemic persons with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM). The kinetics of protein metabolism were estimated in obese subjects with NIDDM in the

With aging there is a chronic low-grade metabolic-acidosis that may exacerbate negative protein balance during weight loss. The objective of this randomized pilot study was to assess the impact of 90 mmol∙day-1 potassium bicarbonate (KHCO₃) versus a placebo (PLA) on 24-h urinary net acid excretion

In a randomized clinical trial 89 obese patients had end-to-side jejunoileostomy with either a 1:3 or a 3:1 ratio between jejunum and ileum left in continuity. The duration of postoperative observation was at least 36 months. Repeated assessments were made on plasma concentrations of sodium,

Metabolic acidosis is associated with increased calciuria and ammoniagenesis. This study evaluated the effects of oral sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or combined potassium bicarbonate-calcium carbonate supplementation on urinary mineral excretion during the ketoacidosis of a very-low-energy protein
