Muscle buffer values.
The in vitro skeletal and cardiac muscle buffer values have been determined for normal and potassium-depleted dogs. Depletion produced a statistically significant decrease in buffer value for both skeletal 66 vs. 61 sl, and cardiac muscle, 64 vs. 55 sl. The decreased cardiac muscle buffer value was obtained despite no statistically significant loss of cardiac muscle potassium.
