Conclusion of this study
Administration of NaHCO3 from the start of the diet to the subjects in group 2 prevented both the metabolic acidosis and the increase in NH4+ N excretion and attenuated the increase in blood and urine 3-hydroxybutyrate. When NaCl replaced NaHCO3 during week 4, ammonium N excretion doubled. Urea N excretion was comparable in both groups and was unaffected by bicarbonate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS).
