OBJECTIVES This study aims to test the hypothesis that fluid loading with sodium chloride (150 mmol Na and 150 mmol Cl) or sodium octanoate (150 mmol Na, 100 mmol Cl, and 50 mmol octanoate) would lead to different acid-base changes. DESIGN We performed a double-blind crossover experimental study. SETTING The study was done at a University Physiology Laboratory. SUBJECTS Eight Merino ewes ...

OBJECTIVES This study was done out to evaluate the effects of Sida rhombifolia methanol extract (SRM) on diabetes in moderately diabetic (MD) and severely diabetic (SD) Sprague-Dawley rats.
