The effects of chronic metabolic acidosis on liver and muscle glutamine metabolism in the dog in vivo

Adrian Fine 1
PMCID: PMC1158103  PMID: 7082312

Abstract

1. Chronic HCl acidosis was induced in dogs. 2. Hepatic extraction of glutamine fell compared with normal animals. 3. Muscle glutamine production was unchanged in acidosis. 4. The results are discussed in relation to inter-organ glutamine metabolism in acidosis in vivo.
