Effects of dietary sodium bicarbonate and calcium chloride on physiological responses of lactating dairy cows in hot weather.

Twenty-four lactating cows were assigned randomly to three treatments to evaluate responses to large differences of dietary sodium and chloride. Treatments were corn-cottonseed meal-corn silage based complete rations with either: 1) .23% sodium chloride (control), 2) control plus 2.28% calcium chloride, or 3) control plus 1.70% sodium bicarbonate. Treatment effects were significant for urine pH (7.96, 5.41, 8.18), blood pH (7.50, 7.39, 7.49), partial pressure of oxygen (91.2, 99.4, 86.3 mm Hg), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (34.60, 30.57, 32.98 mm Hg), bicarbonate (26.20, 18.06, 24.64 meq/liter), total carbon dioxide (27.51, 19.18, 25.88 mM/liter), base excess (4.50, -4.31, 3.13 meq/liter), plasma chloride (93.4, 102.8, 95.7 meq/liter), serum potassium (3.26, 4.24, 4.14 meq/liter), and inorganic phosphorus (7.11, 5.61, 6.80 mg/100 ml). Blood glucose (45.1, 43.0, 55.5 mg/dl) and blood urea nitrogen (11.8, 8.7, 11.9 mg/dl) exhibited treatment effects. Respiration rates, 84.8, 61.8, 89.9 per min, and body temperatures, 39.7, 39.0, and 40.0 degrees C were significantly different. Lower intake of the high chloride diet and higher intake of the bicarbonate diet were probably responsible for some of the effects. Dietary electrolytes should receive attention in formulation because acid-base status of the animal is determined, in part, by ionic concentration and balance of the diet.

Effect of sodium bicarbonate and disodium phosphate on animal performance, ruminal metabolism, digestion, and rate of passage in ruminating calves.

With a five-point radial response design, a control group, and several single factor points, effects of dietary sodium bicarbonate (0 to 4.5%) and disodium phosphate (0 to 2.0%) on calf growth, ruminal fermentation, ration digestibility, and rate of passage of liquid and particulate digesta were studied. Growth and intake data were collected age 7 to 14 wk. Rumen and blood were sampled three times. Digestion and rate of passage trials were during age 16 wk. Gains were not affected significantly but were maximized between 1 and 2% sodium bicarbonate and 0% disodium phosphate. Dry matter intake, feed efficiency, dry matter digestibility, volatile fatty acid ratio, ruminal pH, and buffering capacity were not altered by buffers. Ruminal osmolality and concentration of volatile fatty acids were increased by buffers. Digestibility of acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber tended to be higher for rations containing buffers. Dilution rate of ruminal liquid increased by 40% with 2.0% sodium bicarbonate and .75% disodium phosphate, and ruminal volume was decreased. Passage rate of particulate digesta was increased by a similar amount.

Effect of prepartum energy, body condition, and sodium bicarbonate on production of cows in early lactation.

In trial 1, the effects of dietary energy (102, 131 or 162% of requirement) in the dry period and of sodium bicarbonate (0 or .75% of diet dry matter) in early lactation were assessed with 31 cows in a 3 X 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Body condition and weight increased linearly with prepartum energy. Dry matter intake and milk yield were similar across treatments through 12 wk postpartum. Sodium bicarbonate increased milk fat content only in the 131% group, an effect apparently related to greater mobilization of fat in that group. In trial 2, energy treatments imposed in late lactation (145 to 55 d prepartum) and in the dry period (55 to 0 d) were 1) cows fed to requirement in both periods, 2) cows overfed in the first and underfed in the second period, 3) cows fed to requirement in the first and overfed in the second period, and 4) cows overfed in both periods. Cows in treatments 1 and 2 (normal) calved in a thinner state than those in 3 or 4 (fat). In the first 12 wk postpartum, intake did not differ, but cows in groups 3 and 4 produced more milk. Sodium bicarbonate imposed factorially postpartum increased milk fat content. Overconsumption of energy prepartum did not impair production when high energy total mixed rations were fed postpartum.

Effect of prepartum energy, body condition, and sodium bicarbonate on health and blood metabolites of holstein cows in early lactation.

Effects of prepartum energy and of postpartum sodium bicarbonate (0, .75% DM) on health were studied in two trials. In trial 1, 36 cows consumed either 102, 131, or 162% of their energy requirement in the dry period. Postpartum glucose and D(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate levels indicated that 131% group (between wk 1 and 2) and 162% group (over the first 4 wk) were closer to a ketotic state than treatment groups at other times. Displaced abomasums occurred more frequently in the 162% group than either the 102 or 131 group. Sodium bicarbonate did not alter the health. In trial 2, 40 cows were used to evaluate the effects of prepartum energy for a longer period. Energy treatments imposed in late lactation and in the dry period were 1) cows fed to requirement in both periods; 2) cows overfed in the first and underfed in the second period; 3) cows fed to requirement in the first and overfed in the second; 4) cows overfed in both periods. Blood metabolites and health measures were not affected by energy or sodium bicarbonate treatments. Overconsumption of energy by prepartum cows should be avoided; however, for a short period, overconsumption did not produce major health problems.

Effect of intraduodenal sodium bicarbonate in rat and rabbit exocrine pancreatic secretion.

The effect of intraduodenal sodium bicarbonate, 0.1 M, on exocrine pancreatic secretion and the release of two peptides, secretin and VIP, was studied in anesthetized rats and rabbits, two species largely used in the gastroenterology laboratories. In the rabbit, intraduodenal sodium bicarbonate perfusion had no effect either on exocrine pancreatic secretion or on portal plasma levels of secretin and VIP. By contrast, in the rat, intraduodenal sodium bicarbonate perfusion significantly increased hydroelectrolyte exocrine pancreatic secretion and portal plasma secretin levels. A clear interspecific difference reflecting the different gastrointestinal physiology of both species is observed.

Sodium bicarbonate reduces pain associated with ophthalmic nerve blocks.

Administration of local nerve blocks for ophthalmic surgical procedures causes pain resulting in an unpleasant and stressful experience for the patient. A prospective, randomized, double-masked study compared injection pain of anesthetic solutions used for facial and retrobulbar nerve blocks. Anesthetic solutions to which sodium bicarbonate had been added were compared with anesthetic solutions without added sodium bicarbonate. Pain on injection of both facial and retrobulbar nerve blocks was significantly less (P = .0009 and P less than .0001 respectively), without diminution of effectiveness of either type of nerve block, in the group using anesthetic solutions to which sodium bicarbonate had been added.

Purification of bicarbonate-sensitive sperm adenylylcyclase by 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid-affinity chromatography.

Anion transport inhibitors, such as SITS (4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid) and heparin, inhibit reversibly the bicarbonate-sensitive adenylylcyclase of porcine sperm plasma membrane. In the light of this, SITS- and heparin-affinity chromatographies were applied in order to purify sperm adenylylcyclase. SITS-Affi-Gel 102 binds proteins extracted from the porcine cauda epididymal sperm plasma membrane by Lubrol-PX, more selectively than heparin-agarose. However, recovery of adenylylcyclase activity is higher when heparin-agarose is used. The hormone-sensitive liver adenylylcyclase, which is less sensitive to bicarbonate than sperm enzyme, has less affinity for these affinity resins than sperm enzyme. Adenylylcyclase can be purified to apparent homogeneity on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (isoelectric focusing/sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) from the Lubrol-PX extract of the purified sperm plasma membrane by using SITS-affinity chromatography at the first step of the purification followed by preparative isoelectric focusing and gel filtration. The molecular weight and pI of the purified enzyme are 46,300 and 6.9, respectively. The purified enzyme activity is highly dependent on Mn2+. Bicarbonate activates even the purified enzyme both by decreasing Km and by increasing Vmax.

Evaluation of vulvar irritancy potential of a menstrual pad containing sodium bicarbonate in short-term application.

The effect on the skin of menstrual pads containing sodium bicarbonate as a fragrance substitute and of sodium bicarbonate alone was studied in 50 healthy women. Skin changes were monitored by transepidermal water loss, capacitance, laser Doppler flowmetry, skin surface pH and visual scoring. No clinical signs developed after the volunteers had been patched with the menstrual pads for 24 hours. No subclinical vulvar skin irritant reactions were observed with bioengineering methods. The menstrual pads containing sodium bicarbonate as a deodorant did not significantly affect the vulva in short-term use.

Furosemide and sodium bicarbonate-induced alkalosis in the horse and response to oral KCl or NaCl therapy.

Metabolic alkalosis was induced in 10 clinically normal horses by administration of furosemide (1 mg/kg of body weight, IM) followed 4.5 hours later by sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3; 500 g in 8 L water) via nasogastric tube. Furosemide diuresis resulted in a mean weight loss of 21.1 kg, which was associated with small, but significant, increases in venous blood pH, bicarbonate, and plasma protein concentrations (P less than 0.001), while plasma potassium, chloride, and calcium concentrations declined significantly (P less than 0.001). Oral administration of the hypertonic NaHCO3 solution resulted in clinical evidence of hypovolemia, which was accompanied by a marked increase (P less than 0.001) in plasma protein concentration. Seven of the 10 horses developed signs of neuromuscular excitability, as evidenced by muscle fasciculations, and 5 of the horses developed diaphragmatic flutter. Hypernatremia was transiently induced, but it resolved as the horses were allowed access to water. The alkalosis induced by furosemide and NaHCO3 was profound and persisted for a 24-hour period and was associated with marked hypochloremia and hypokalemia. Partial replacement of the electrolyte deficits and correction of the metabolic alkalosis was attempted, using 1,000 mEq of NaCl or KCl given as an isotonic solution via nasogastric tube. In the KCl-treated group, there was a prompt and significant decline in venous blood pH and bicarbonate concentration (P less than 0.001) accompanied by a significant increase in plasma potassium concentration (P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The bioavailability of sulpiride taken as a film-coated tablet with sodium bicarbonate, cimetidine, natural orange juice or hydrochloric acid.

The bioavailability of sulpiride taken in film-coated tablet form with sodium bicarbonate or cimetidine or with natural orange juice or diluted hydrochloric acid was studied. A commercial sulpiride film-coated tablet (100 mg/T) treated with polyvinylacetal diethylaminoacetate (AEA), which remain undissolved at pH above 4-5, was given to four healthy volunteers who had fasted overnight. The subjects were divided into two groups, those showing high and low bioavailability of sulpiride from an AEA film-coated tablet. The two high bioavailability subjects took one tablet (100 mg) with 100 ml of water (1) alone, (2) together with 1 g of sodium bicarbonate or (3) during concurrent dosing with cimetidine, 200 mg three times a day. The two low bioavailability subjects swallowed one tablet with 100 ml of (1) water, (2) natural orange juice, or (3) diluted hydrochloric acid. Urine samples were collected over a 48-h period following sulpiride administration to determine sulpiride concentrations by HPLC. The bioavailability was estimated from the cumulative amount excreted unchanged in urine over 48 h (Du48). In the high bioavailability subjects, the bioavailability of sulpiride markedly decreased with the coadministration of sodium bicarbonate or cimetidine compared to when the tablet was taken alone. In the low bioavailability subjects, the bioavailability remarkably increased with the concomitant intake of orange juice or diluted hydrochloric acid over that with only water. These results suggest that the bioavailability of sulpiride from AEA film-coated tablet is influenced by the individual's gastric acidity and by coadministered drug and drink which affect gastric acidity.

[Bacteriologic studies of bicarbonate dialysate and suitable initial solutions].

Dialysates for the haemodialysis are produced unsterile and usually contain bacteria. Own investigations of bicarbonate dialysate and adequate initial solutions comprised sterility tests, determinations of the germ count and germ tolerance experiments. Only the "acid concentrate" was sterile. In the other solutions Corynebacteria, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas bacteria dominated as typical water germs. In the fresh reverse osmosis water and the bicarbonate dialysate as well as in the recently produced 35-mmolar and 1-molar NaHCO3-solution the germ count was in each case about 10(5)/l and did not change itself essentially at room temperature within 6 hours. The "acid concentrate" and at a lower level also the 1-molar NaHCO3-concentrate have an antibacterial effect. The reverse osmosis water is the main contamination source for the bicarbonate dialysate, the application of which within 6 hours seems worth being used on account of the low germ count.

Comparison of the effects of sodium bicarbonate versus sodium citrate on renal acid excretion.

Citrate is used commonly as an alkalinizing agent and in the management of nephrolithiasis, but its quantitative effect on acid-base homeostasis, as judged by changes in renal net acid excretion, has not been delineated. We therefore administered 61 mEq of sodium citrate/day for 4 days to 10 normal volunteers and compared the results to those obtained in 10 normal subjects (4 of whom also participated in the citrate protocol) given 60 mEq/day for 4 days of sodium bicarbonate, the prototypical alkalinizing agent. We found that the sodium citrate group experienced an average reduction in net acid excretion (45.5 +/- 7.2 mEq/day) that was very similar to that (42.0 +/- 7.2 mEq/day) induced by the same amount of sodium bicarbonate. In both groups, the reduction in net acid excretion was equivalent to approximately 70% of the alkali administered. The latter appeared to relate to an average negative hydrogen ion balance of approximately 15 mEq/day, since there was an increase in blood [HCO3] in each group of about 2.5 mEq/l. We conclude that the findings demonstrate that the short-term effects of sodium citrate on acid-base homeostasis in normal subjects are indistinguishable from those of sodium bicarbonate.

Changes in urinary pH following bicarbonate loading.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of bicarbonate doping on urinary pH following intense exercise. Sixty-five university students (14 female, 51 male) were tested in a double-blind fashion on two separate occasions one week apart. In random order each subject received a 500 mL bottle containing water, flavour crystals, plus either placebo (P) or sodium bicarbonate (B) in a dosage of 0.3 gm/kg body weight. One hour later following an 800 m run a urine specimen was obtained and analyzed in duplicate on a Corning pH meter. Urinary pH was significantly increased in the B condition (P = 6.17 +/- 0.6; B = 7.61 +/- 0.4; p less than 0.01). There was no difference between the response of the males (B = 7.59 +/- 0.3; P = 6.14 +/- 0.6) and females (B = 7.67 +/- 0.4; p = 6.29 +/- 0.6). The times for the 800 m run were B = 2.35 +/- 22 s; P = 2.36 +/- 15 s; p greater than 0.05. These data indicate that urinary pH may be a suitable parameter for detection of bicarbonate doping.

[Sodium bicarbonate administration in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Results of an animal experimental study].

One minute following electrically induced ventricular fibrillation, 12 anaesthetized pigs (hybrids between German and Belgian pedigree swine of 29 kg average body weight) were resuscitated for 30 min with a mechanical thorax compressor and ventilator. Six animals were given 1 mval sodium bicarbonate per kilogram body weight via a central venous line during the first ten minutes of resuscitation, and then 0.5 mval/kg body weight during both of the remaining ten minute intervals. The remaining 6 animals served as control group. In the control group constant volume ventilation led to a fall in the arterial partial pressure of CO2 because perfusion was diminished in relation to ventilation and despite the slowly developing metabolic acidosis this initially led to an increase in pH. At the end of the period of observation an arterial base deficit of 10 mmol/l was measured. Infusion of sodium bicarbonate led to a metabolic alkalosis and to an arterial base excess which at 10 min reached a maximum value of 13.8 mmol/l. In the bicarbonate group serum osmolality rose as a result of the sodium application from 293-334 mosm/l. In contrast, the osmolality of the control group only rose to 309 mosm/l.

Clinical evaluation of sodium bicarbonate, sodium L-lactate, and sodium acetate for the treatment of acidosis in diarrheic calves.

Thirty-six dehydrated diarrheic neonatal calves were used to study the effects of various alkalinizing compounds on acid-base status, the changes in central venous pressure (CVP) in response to rapid IV infusion of large volumes of fluid, and the correlation of acid-base (base deficit) status, using a depression scoring system with physical determinants related to cardiovascular and neurologic function. Calves were allotted randomly to 4 groups (9 calves/group). Over a 4-hour period, each calf was given two 3.6-L volumes (the first 3.6 L given in the first hour) of a polyionic fluid alone (control group) or were given the polyionic fluid with sodium bicarbonate, sodium L-lactate, or sodium acetate added (50 mmol/L). Acid-base status, hematologic examination, and biochemical evaluations were made immediately before infusion of each fluid (at entry) and after 3.6, 4.8, and 7.2 L of fluid had been given. Compared with control values, bicarbonate, lactate, and acetate had significantly greater alkalinizing effects on pH (P less than 0.01) and base deficit (P less than 0.01) after 3.6, 4.8, and 7.2 L of fluid were given. Bicarbonate had the most rapid alkalinizing effect and induced greater changes in base deficit (P less than 0.01) than did acetate or lactate at each of the 3 administered fluid volumes evaluated. Acetate and lactate had similar alkalinizing effects on blood. Rehydration alone did not improve acid-base status. The CVP was elevated in 10 (28%) of the 36 calves after 1 hour of fluid (3.6 L) administration, but significant differences in body weight, PCV, and clinical condition or depression score at entry were not found between calves with elevated CVP and those with normal CVP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Acid-base and electrolyte balance in dairy heifers fed forage and concentrate rations: effects of sodium bicarbonate.

Eight Holstein heifers were fed diets of alfalfa hay, corn silage, or finely ground corn grain with or without NaHCO3 in a rotating experimental design. Acid-base status and renal excretion of electrolytes were evaluated during short-term (1 and 5 day) and long-term (24 day) feeding trials. Heifers fed alfalfa hay had a greater metabolic buffering capacity than did heifers fed corn silage. Heifers fed grain had lower blood pH and bicarbonate values than did those fed the forage diets. The most pronounced effects of grain-feeding were aciduria and phosphaturia. Aciduria did not occur when NaHCO3 was added to the grain at 2% of the ration on a dry matter basis. Grain-fed heifers had significantly (P less than 0.05) lower blood and urine pH and bicarbonate values, and excreted significantly more calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium in the urine than did those fed grain plus NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate, as a 2% dietary supplement, counteracted many effects of high-grain diets.

Hemodynamic effects of hypertonic sodium bicarbonate on denervated canine hearts.

The hemodynamic consequences of an intravenous bolus of hypertonic sodium bicarbonate were studied in normal dogs and in dogs that had undergone heart autotransplantation. Twenty-one autotransplanted dogs and seventeen sham-operated dogs were instrumented with an electromagnetic flow probe positioned around the ascending aorta. Hemodynamic data were collected three hours after the operation and then at daily intervals for one month, before and during sodium bicarbonate administration. The data indicates that hemodynamic base-line parameters remain lower in autotransplanted dogs than in the control animals during the whole length of the study. At the peak of the hypotensive response that follows the sodium bicarbonate injection the left ventricular performance is decreased to the same extent in both the autotransplanted and the control dogs. This negative inotropic response is enhanced in the presence of myocardial failure. In the autotransplanted group, reflex tachycardia was absent, resulting in a greater reduction in the cardiac index. These two effects explain the greater reduction of arterial pressure in the autotransplanted dogs.

Intra-arterial infusions and intestinal necrosis in the rabbit: potential hazards of umbilical artery injections of ampicillin, glucose, and sodium bicarbonate.

Umbilical artery catheters are frequently employed for administration of medications. When the catheter tip is positioned adjacent to major aortic tributaries or inadvertently in the mesenteric arteries, high concentrations of infused substances may perfuse the intestine. Injections of saline, 50% dextrose, 10% dextrose, 8.4% sodium bicarbonate, and 100 mg/ml ampicillin were made into a branch of the mesenteric artery supplying 10 to 15 cm of rabbit ileum. The intestine was then examined two to five days later. All segments of intestine perfused with saline and 10% dextrose were grossly and microscopically normal. In each of the eight sites perfused with 50% dextrose, intestinal necrosis was noted (P less than .001). Four of eight sites perfused with ampicillin had hemorrhage and villus atrophy (p less than .001). Of the eight sites perfused with sodium bicarbonate, three had necrosis with hemorrhage and five had villus edema. The data indicate that intraarterial infusions of high concentrations of sodium bicarbonate, glucose, and ampicillin produce serious lesions in an animal model. This suggests that appropriate precautions should be exercised when administering medications through the umbilical artery catheter.
