THE NORMAL VARIATIONS IN PLASMA HYDROGEN ION CONCENTRATION

Hydrogen Ion Concentration and Acid-base Equilibrium in Normal Pregnancy

In 1912 Hasselbalch, with Lundsgaard and Gammeltoft (6, 7), described a lowering of the alveolar carbon dioxide and of the carbon dioxide-combining power of the blood in the later months of normal pregnancy. These changes have been abundantly confirmed by others and found to appear early in the course of pregnancy. These findings together with an increased ammonia to total nitrogen ratio in the...

Investigation of ANP Plasma Concentration in Normal Pregnancy and Preeclampsia

با وجود شواهد روزافزونی که بیانگر نقش احتمالی ANP در هموستاز طبیعی مایعات بدن است، اما هنوز اهمیت نقش این پیتید در سلامت و بیماری بدرستی مشخص نیست. بر اثر ازدیاد فشار دهلیزی و تعداد انقباضات آن، ANP از میوسیت های دهلیزی ترشح می شود. تزریق مقادیر زیادی از ANP صناعی به انسان و حیوان سبب کاهش فشار سیستمیک دهلیزی و افزایش دفع سدیم و برقراری دیورز می گردد. مطالعات اخیر بر روی تأثیر تزریق ANP صناعی ...

The Hydrogen-Ion Concentration of Cholera Stools

The Hydrogen-Ion Concentration of Human Fæces

Howe and Hawk (1912) were the first to determine the exact hydrogen-ion concentration of human fjeces. They examined samples of fa}ces from three individuals and found that the reaction of the material examined by them was always alkaline, varying with the different subjects and conditions from pH 7.01 to 8.77. Nelson and Williams (1916) recorded that 29 of the 30 individuals examined by them p...

Hydrogen ion concentration changes in mitochondrial membranes.

1. Bromthymol blue added to rat liver mitochondria at concentrations in the range 0.4 to 4.0 mpmoles per mg of protein is tightly bound as indicated by centrifugation and washing of the mitochondria. 2. The absorbance of the dye is increased on adding Ca++ or Mn++ to the mitochondria in the absence of a permeant anion. The extent of increase is 0.03 cm-l for 167 PM Ca++ at 618 rnp for 0.5 mpmol...
