Hydrogen ion CO2 and buffer capacity in brain from water depleted rats.
pH, C02 and buffer capacity of the brain and blood acid-base status were studied in (C) control and in acutely water depleted (WD) rats. WD rats developed a greater metabolic [H+] increase in brain than in blood. The results suggest that brain [H+] change is a primary metabolic reply to acute dehydration.
