Dietary Protein, Metabolic Acidosis, and Calcium Balance

  • Chapter
Advances in Nutritional Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Nutritional Research ((ANUR,volume 4))

Abstract

A very large number of metabolic reactions that produce or remove hydrogen ions occur in the body. However, in the great majority of these, the production and removal of protons are merely intermediary steps in processes that are essentially neutral. A ready example comes from the production and utilization of ATP in cells. ATP hydrolysis in cells produces a proton.

Work from the authors’ laboratories was supported by the Medical Research Council of Canada.
