Intelligence Impacts of Co 2 on Acid - Base Balance , Rectal Base Excretion and Intestinal

چکیده
The processing of seawater by the marine teleost fi sh intestine includes high rates of base (bicarbonate) secretion into the intestinal fl uids. The resulting high bicarbonate concentrations in the intestinal fl uids combine with the calcium in the ingested seawater to form calcium carbonate crystals. This process is important for the salt and water balance of the marine teleost fi sh and leads to the excretion of calcium carbonate crystals to the surrounding water.

Effects of salinity on intestinal bicarbonate secretion and compensatory regulation of acid-base balance in Opsanus beta.
Marine teleosts have extracellular fluids less concentrated than their environment, resulting in continual water loss, which is compensated for by drinking, with intestinal water absorption driven by NaCl uptake. Absorption of Cl(-) occurs in part by apical Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange, with HCO(3)(-) provided by transepithelial transport and/or by carbonic anhydrase-mediated hydration of endogenou...
متن کاملOcean acidification leads to counterproductive intestinal base loss in the gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta).
Oceanic CO(2) has increased from 280 to 380 μatm since preindustrial times and is expected to reach 1,900 μatm by 2300. In addition, regional upwelling zones exhibit levels up to 2,300 μatm, making exploration at future global projected CO(2) levels ecologically relevant today. Recent work has demonstrated that CO(2) exposure as low as 1,000 μatm induces acidosis in toadfish (Opansus beta), lea...
متن کاملCa2+-driven intestinal HCO(3)(-) secretion and CaCO3 precipitation in the European flounder in vivo: influences on acid-base regulation and blood gas transport.
Marine teleost fish continuously ingest seawater to prevent dehydration and their intestines absorb fluid by mechanisms linked to three separate driving forces: 1) cotransport of NaCl from the gut fluid; 2) bicarbonate (HCO(3)(-)) secretion and Cl(-) absorption via Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange fueled by metabolic CO(2); and 3) alkaline precipitation of Ca(2+) as insoluble CaCO(3), which aids H(2)O ...
متن کاملAcid-base balance and CO2 excretion in fish: unanswered questions and emerging models.
Carbon dioxide (CO(2)) excretion and acid-base regulation in fish are linked, as in other animals, though the reversible reactions of CO(2) and the acid-base equivalents H(+) and HCO(3)(-): CO(2)+H(2)O<-->H(+)+HCO(3)(-). These relationships offer two potential routes through which acid-base disturbances may be regulated. Respiratory compensation involves manipulation of ventilation so as to ret...
متن کاملInfluence of nutrition on acid-base balance--metabolic aspects.
BACKGROUND Nutrition has long been known to strongly influence acid-base balance. Recently, we have shown that it is possible to appropriately estimate the renal net acid excretion (NAE) of healthy subjects from the composition of their diets. AIM OF THE STUDY 1) To briefly present a physiologically based calculation model that allows a reasonable estimation of the analytically determined uri...
