Table 1.

Serum measurements after 18 weeks in GHS rats fed KCl, KCit, KCl+CTD or KCit+CTD with OH-proline.

Sodium (mmol/L) 144.8 ± 0.7 142.7 ± 0.7 142.7 ± 0.5 141.5 ± 0.9a
Potassium (mmol/L) 4.67 ± 0.13 4.44 ± 0.18 3.88 ± 0.17a 3.73 ± 0.14a,b

Bicarbonate (mmol/L) 24.6 ± 0.5 24.8 ± 0.7 25.0 ± 0.4 26.4 ± 0.2
Calcium (mg/dL) 10.2 ± 0.08 10.2 ± 0.07 10.7 ± .06a,b 10.6 ± 0.3a,b
Phosphate (mg/dL) 5.56 ± 0.20 6.08 ± 0.40 5.97 ± 0.21 5.74 ± 0.22
Creatinine (mg/dL) 0.30 ± 0.01 0.30 ± 0.01 0.32 ± 0.01 0.32 ± 0.02

Results are mean ± SE for 9-10 rats/group.

a

p <0.05 vs KCl alone;

b

p<0.05 vs KCit alone.

There were no significant differences comparing KCl+CTD to KCit+CTD.
