FATE OF INGESTED SODIUM BICARBONATE IN THE FOWL

The Fate of Ingested Water

Except in some of the lower orders, virtual constancy of the volume of body water is a prerequisite for the normal function and indeed the survival of the organism. In terrestrial animals, particularly, adaptive mechanisms provide for physiological regulation of the amounts of water which leave and enter the body. Although solid foods provide a considerable quantity of pre-formed water to the b...

Effect of ingested sodium bicarbonate on muscle force, fatigue, and recovery.

The influence of acute ingestion of NaHCO3 on fatigue and recovery of teh quadriceps femoris muscle after exercise was studied in six healthy male subjects. A bicycle ergometer was used for exercising under three loading conditions: test A, load corresponding to maximal oxygen consumption; test B, load in test A + 17%; test C, load in test B but performed 1 h after acute ingestion of NaHCO3. Fu...

Sodium bicarbonate

Major uses Sodium bicarbonate is a main constituent of baking soda/powder. Baking powder is composed of 30% of sodium bicarbonate, with cornstarch, sodium aluminium sulfate, calcium acid phosphate, and calcium sulfate [1]. Sodium bicarbonate may be an ingredient of folk remedies containing turpentine, castor oil, lemon and sugar. It is also added to mouthwashes and dentifrices to prevent dental...

The fate of ingested creatinine in the rat.

dilute solutions, the initial pipetting oflarge volumes on to chromatograms may lead to the accumulation of enough salts seriously to disturb band formation and movement. For creatin.ine detection under these circumstances, preliminary adsorption on to Lloyd's reagent (Behre & Benedict, 1922) is suggested. The methods described have not been extended beyond the qualitative detection of creatine...
