Internal acid–base homeostasis is fundamental for maintaining life. Accurate and timely interpretation of an acid–base disorder can be lifesaving, but the establishment of a correct diagnosis may be ...

Researchers have identified this receptor in brain mural cells that regulates reperfusion injury. Optimal pH homeostasis for cellular function is maintained by the acid-base balance through multiple ...

GPR30 in brain microvasculature responds to bicarbonate, and its deficiency protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury, reducing neurological deficits and blood-brain barrier disruption. These ...

The body functions best when its pH is slightly alkaline. Metabolic alkalosis occurs when the pH level becomes too alkaline. It can happen when diarrhea, vomiting, or excessive urination lead to an ...

Chemists unravel how bicarbonate can protect cells from oxidative stress in a study that challenges how cell damage has been studied for decades. The cells in our bodies are like bustling cities, ...
