Urine pH in nonlactating and lactating women during fasting and refeeding

Nonlactating Lactating

Fasting time, h
    0–12 6.7±0.2a 6.5±0.2a
    12–24 6.5±0.1a 5.9±0.3a
    24–36 6.4±0.3a 5.3±0.2b
    36–42 6.1±0.3a 4.7±0.1c
Refeeding 6.3±0.2a 4.7±0.1c

Values are means ± SE. Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed differences over time (P < 0.001), differences between groups [nonlactating (n = 4) vs. lactating (n = 5); P < 0.001], and differences due to interaction of group and time (P < 0.001). Different superscripted letters (based on post hoc comparisons) indicate significant difference (P < 0.05).
