Sevelamer carbonate is an anion exchange pharmaceutical, developed to improve on the performance of the non-absorbable, non-calcium, and metal-free phosphate binder sevelamer hydrochloride. Sevelamer carbonate is expected not to worsen metabolic acidosis, as previously reported during long-term treatment with sevelamer hydrochloride in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Carbonate is the alternate coun...

To determine the relationship between hyperventilation and recovery of blood pH during recovery from a heavy exercise, short-term intense exercise (STIE) tests were performed after human subjects ingested 0.3 g.kg(-1) body mass of either NaHCO3 (Alk) or CaCO3 (Pla). Ventilation (VE)-CO2 output (VCO2) slopes during recovery following STIE were significantly lower in Alk than in Pla, indicating t...

Considering the impacts of agricultural runoff, domestic and industrial effluents on quality many dams rivers as cited in literature, a physico-chemical study regarding water assessment Ghunghuta dam has been carried out to indicate irrigation suitability water. In present study, parameters like pH, EC, TDS, TH, Ca, Mg, Na, K, carbonate bicarbonate were estimated evaluate sodium percentage (% N...

Experimental Reagents and chemicals m-Phenylenediamine (mPDA >99%) was purchased from Acros Organics, ethylenediamine (EDA, Sigma Ultra) was obtained from Sigma Aldrich. ortho-Phosphoric acid (85%, ACS certified) was purchased from Fisher Scientific. All the other chemicals were of analytical grade. Buffer solutions with different pH were prepared using chemicals (such as sulphuric acid, citric...

The pituitary hormone prolactin is a pleiotropic endocrine factor that plays a major role in the regulation of ion balance in fish, with demonstrated actions mainly in the gills and kidney. The role of prolactin in intestinal ion transport remains little studied. In marine fish, which have high drinking rates, epithelial bicarbonate secretion in the intestine produces luminal carbonate aggregat...

Although anions are usually determined by suppressed ion chromatography (IC), carbonate and bicarbonate ions can not be determined, because a mixed solution of sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogencarbonate is used as the eluent. This paper describes an IC method for the determination of carbonate ion and common anions using an IonPac AG17/AS17 column, an EG 40 eluent generator and a conductivit...

Organic matter removal is accomplished rapidly and efficiently without removing carbonates by treating samples with a sodium hypochlorite solution. Quantities of organic matter left in samples by this treatment are commonly less than remain after hydrogen peroxide treatment of acidified samples. Stable suspensions result from the use of a sodium carbonate—sodium bicarbonate solution to wash and...
