Folic acid balance, studied in patients on chronic dialysis to define the mechanisms rendering them susceptible to folic acid deficiency, showed adequate folic acid available to sustain hematopoiesis ...

Paracrine communication between different parts of the renal tubule is required for the maintenance of systemic acid–base balance, say researchers. “We demonstrate that the kidney regulates acid–base ...

The bioenergetics of lactate generation can be summarized as follows: glucose + 2(ADP + inorganic phosphate) → 2 lactate + 2 H + + 2 ATP. Production of lactate ions by means of glycolysis is ...

Acid-base balance is one of the most tightly regulated physiologic systems in the human body. In healthy individuals, chronic systemic acidification is highly unlikely because multiple compensatory ...
