Some problems with antacids.

Abstract

The author points out that because a high intake of Vitamin D and calcium is normally encouraged in pregnancy, care should be taken in the prescription of certain antacids likely to cause alkalosis. Calcium-containing antacids are probably best avoided because of nocturnal acid rebound. Because of undesirable fluid retention in some situations in pregnancy caution should be exercised in the use of sodium-containing antacids. The very high sodium content of some antacids is stressed.

Effects of moderate hyperglycemia on the temporal profile of brain tissue intracellular pH and [Mg2+] after global cerebral ischemia in rats.

In an attempt to understand the mechanisms by which preischemic plasma glucose (pg) worsens neurologic and neuropathologic outcomes, we investigated the effect of moderate preischemic hyperglycemia (200 mg/dl < mean plasma glucose < 360 mg/dl) on postischemic energy metabolism, tissue intracellular pH (pHi) and tissue free intracellular pMg (= -log[Mg2+]) over a one week period after transient global cerebral ischemia in the rat. In vivo 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was performed prior to and daily up to 1 week (wk) in rats after 12 min of forebrain ischemia, induced by bicarotid occlusion concurrent with systemic hypotension. Preischemic plasma glucose significantly affected 1 wk postischemic survival (p = 0.05, Fisher's exact test). The temporal profile of the brain tissue pHi was significantly different (p < 0.03) between the moderate hyperglycemic (H-1wk, n = 7, mean pg = 266.0 +/- 47.3 mg/dl) and the normoglycemic (N-1wk, n = 8, mean pg = 91.2 +/- 23.7 mg/dl) ischemic animals over 1 wk. Postischemic tissue alkalosis was measured at 24 (p = < 0.006) and 48h (p = 0.001) postischemia in the N-1wk group. A single marginally significant (p = 0.011) mean pHi upshift was measured at 72h postischemia in the H-1wk group. The mean change in pHi at 24h postischemia from the baseline values in moderate hyperglycemic animals that survived only 48h after ischemia (H-48h, n = 6, mean pg = 298.8 +/- 70.1 mg/dl) was significantly lower (p = 0.02) than that of the N-1wk ischemic animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A kinetically defined Na+/H+ antiporter within a mathematical model of the rat proximal tubule.

The luminal membrane antiporter of the proximal tubule has been represented using the kinetic formulation of E. Heinz (1978. Mechanics and Engergetics of Biological Transport. Springer-Verlag, Berlin) with the assumption of equilibrium binding and 1:1 stoichiometry. Competitive binding and transport of NH+4 is included within this model. Ion affinities and permeation velocities were selected in a least-squares fit to the kinetic parameters determined experimentally in renal membrane vesicles (Aronson, P.S., M.A. Suhm, and J. Nee. 1983. Journal of Biological Chemistry. 258:6767-6771). The modifier role of internal H+ to enhance transport beyond the expected kinetics (Aronson, P.S., J. Nee, and M. A. Suhm. 1982. Nature. 299:161-163) is represented as a velocity effect of H+ binding to a single site. This kinetic formulation of the Na+/H+ antiporter was incorporated within a model of the rat proximal tubule (Weinstein, A. M. 1994. American Journal of Physiology. 267:F237-F248) as a replacement for the representation by linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics (NET). The membrane density of the antiporter was selected to yield agreement with the rate of tubular Na+ reabsorption. Simulation of 0.5 cm of tubule predicts that the activity of the Na+/H+ antiporter is the most important force for active secretion of ammonia. Model calculations of metabolic acid-base disturbances are performed and comparison is made among antiporter representations (kinetic model, kinetic model without internal modifier, and NET formulation). It is found that the ability to sharply turn off Na+/H+ exchange in cellular alkalosis substantially eliminates the cell volume increase associated with high HCO3- conditions. In the tubule model, diminished Na+/H+ exchange in alkalosis blunts the axial decrease in luminal HCO3- and thus diminishes paracellular reabsorption of Cl-. In this way, the kinetics of the Na+/H+ antiporter could act to enhance distal delivery of Na+, Cl-, and HCO3- in acute metabolic alkalosis.
