▪
On day 10, 20, and 34 a faecal sample was collected for measurement of bacterial counts and metabolic activity .
alkalosis
▪
Vomiting, however, leads to a loss of gastric hydrochloric acid, and often causes a metabolic alkalosis .
▪
This indicates the presence of a metabolic alkalosis .
▪
Hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis occur together in states of mineralocorticoid excess, with diuretic therapy or abuse, and in vomiting.
▪
A positive base excess is associated with metabolic alkalosis , and a negative base excess is associated with metabolic acidosis. 301-304.
▪
This equation is applicable to patients with simple metabolic acidosis, and can not be extended to include those with metabolic alkalosis .
▪
If the patient has been vomiting and is volume-contracted on examination, then metabolic alkalosis may also be present.
▪
If the total CO2 is high, the patient may have either metabolic alkalosis or chronic respiratory acidosis, or both.
▪
The history, examination, and electrolyte levels suggest mild metabolic alkalosis .
disorder
▪
Scientists have strong evidence that Type I diabetes is a metabolic disorder triggered by an autoimmune reaction.
pathway
▪
Many basic metabolic pathways show striking similarities throughout the bacterial, plant and animal kingdoms.
process
▪
Buffer base reflects metabolic processes which influence acid-base balance.
▪
Stoichiometric procedures also help the biochemist to follow the metabolic processes that take place in organisms.
▪
The remedies seem to have the power to help harmonize the body's metabolic processes and to correct imbalances in them.
▪
As a bonus, water has particular electro-chemical qualities that make it an ideal reagent in many of life's metabolic processes .
▪
It is absorbed by our bodies and used in a wide range of metabolic processes .
▪
There thus seems to be quantitative differences in the metabolic processes concerned.
rate
▪
Your metabolic rate will fall; eating just average amounts of food will tend to make you fat.
▪
Aerobic exercise and reduced-calorie diets produce weight loss, but reduce the resting metabolic rate because they do not maintain muscle mass.
▪
Larger animals require more food than smaller animals, but smaller animals have a higher metabolic rate .
▪
Dieting may also depress the metabolic rate , he says, making it easier to gain weight the next time around.
▪
Varanus can also increase its metabolic rate , like mammals but often more effectively.
▪
And you can not safely ginger up your metabolic rate with drugs because of the risk from side-effects.
▪
He points out that an animal's life span is linked to its metabolic rate .
▪
Since reduced pressure also slows the metabolic rate , it too should slow and lengthen a creature's biological career.
