Abstract
An emerging technique used for the study of metabolic regulation is the elevation of lactate concentration with a sodium-lactate infusion, the lactate clamp (LC). However, hematological and acid-base properties affected by the infusion of hypertonic solutions containing the osmotically active strong ions sodium (Na+) and lactate (Lac−) are a concern for clinical and research applications of LC. In the present study, we characterized the hematological and plasma acid-base changes during rest and prolonged, light- to moderate-intensity (55% V̇o2 peak) exercise with and without LC. During the control (Con) trial, subjects were administered an isotonic, isovolumetric saline infusion. During LC, plasma lactate concentration ([Lac−]) was elevated to 4 meq/l during rest and to 4–7 meq/l during exercise. During LC at rest, there were rapid and transient changes in plasma, erythrocyte, and blood volumes. LC resulted in decreased plasma [H+] (from 39.6 to 29.6 neq/l) at the end of exercise while plasma [HCO3−] increased from 26 to 32.9 meq/l. Increased plasma strong ion difference [SID], due to increased [Na+], was the primary contributor to decreased [H+] and increased [HCO3−]. A decrease in plasma total weak acid concentration also contributed to these changes, whereas Pco2 contributed little. The infusion of hypertonic LC caused only minor volume, acid-base, and CO2 storage responses. We conclude that an LC infusion is appropriate for studies of metabolic regulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize hematologic and clinical consequences of chronic dietary consumption of freeze-dried garlic at maximum voluntary intake in horses. ANIMALS 4 healthy sex- and age-matched horses. PROCEDURE An initial garlic dose (0.05 g/kg, twice daily) was fed to 2 horses in a molasses carrier as part of their normal ration and was gradually increased to maximum voluntary intake (0.25 g/kg, twice daily) over 41 days. Dietary supplementation then continued for a total of 71 days. Two control horses were fed molasses with no garlic with their ration. Blood samples were collected weekly and analyzed for hematologic and biochemical changes, including the presence of Heinz bodies. Recovery of affected blood values was followed for 5 weeks after termination of dietary supplementation with garlic. RESULTS At a daily dose of > 0.2 g/kg, horses fed garlic developed hematologic and biochemical indications of Heinz body anemia, as characterized by increases in Heinz body score (HBS), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin, platelet count, and serum unconjugated and total bilirubin concentrations and decreases in RBC count, blood hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and serum haptoglobin concentration. Recovery from anemia was largely complete within 5 weeks after termination of dietary supplementation with garlic. Heinz body score and MCV remained high at the end of the 5-week recovery period. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Horses will voluntarily consume sufficient quantities of garlic to cause Heinz body anemia. The potential for garlic toxicosis exists when horses are chronically fed garlic. Further study is required to determine the safe dietary dose of garlic in horses.

Abstract
Four multiparous ruminally fistulated Holstein dairy cows were used in an 8-wk experiment utilizing a repeated measures block design to determine the effects of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) on supplemented water intake. Animals were subjected to SARA, which was induced by replacing 25% of the ad libitum intake of the total mixed ration (dry matter basis) with 50:50 wheat:barley pellets utilizing a grain challenge model. Cows had free choice from 2 water bowls. One bowl contained water with sodium bicarbonate (SB) supplemented at 2.5 g/L. The other bowl contained unsupplemented water. Ruminal pH was monitored continuously during the trial using indwelling pH probes. The induction of SARA reduced daily mean ruminal pH and increased the duration when ruminal pH was below 6. The total mixed ration intake by the cows decreased during the SARA periods. The overall preference for SB-supplemented water did not change, as the preference ratio was similar during the control and SARA periods. During the period of greatest ruminal pH depression, total water intake was higher during the SARA periods than during the control periods. During SARA, there was no difference in the preference of a SB water source to unsupplemented water. During the period of day with the most severe ruminal pH depression, the lactating dairy cows subjected to SARA increased their total water intake.

Abstract
Ruminants fed high-grain diets often are subjected to ruminal acidosis, which can lead to excessive absorption of lactate into the blood stream, thereby causing metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis leads to body protein loss, mainly due to increased skeletal muscle degradation. Our objective was to determine the effects of metabolic acidosis on the messenger RNA (mRNA) abundance of genes encoding components of the ubiquitin-mediated proteolytic pathway in the skeletal muscle of lactating Holstein cows. Cows (n = 20) were assigned to one of two treatments: 1) control; or 2) NutriChlor 18-8, an HCl-treated supplement, which was fed to induce chronic metabolic acidosis. The longissimus muscle was biopsied before and after 10 d of treatments. Total RNA isolated from muscle tissue was hybridized with (32)P-labeled cDNA probes encoding for 14-kDa ubiquitin carrier protein E2 (14-kDa E2), ubiquitin, and C8 and C9 subunits of the 20S proteasome. Induction of metabolic acidosis increased (P < 0.05) skeletal muscle mRNA levels for ubiquitin (25%), 14-kDa E2 (34%), and the C8 subunit (20%); however, mRNA abundance for the C9 subunit was unaffected (P > 0.05). These results suggest that up-regulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is the mechanism by which metabolic acidosis stimulates muscle wasting in ruminants.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that exercise-induced changes in plasma composition result in peak stimulation of erythrocyte unidirectional K+ (JK,in) and net K+ (JK,net) transport within the first 120 s. In experimental series 1 (7 men; 2 women), plasma [K+] was continuously measured in vitro (37 degrees C) after the addition of red blood cells (RBCs) obtained from rested subjects (resting RBCs) into an exercise-simulated plasma (ESP; increased plasma osmolality, [K+], [H+], [lactate] and [adrenaline] (epinephrine)), and JK,net calculated. In experimental series 2 (7 men; 4 women), resting RBCs were incubated in true exercise plasma (TEP) obtained after two 30 s bouts of high intensity leg cycling exercise to determine JK,net and JK,in (via RBC 86Rb accumulation). JK,net of resting RBCs increased from 0.9 +/- 28.7 in resting plasma to 285 +/- 164 mmol (l RBCs)-1 h-1 in ESP and to 178 +/- 60 mmol (l RBCs)-1 h-1 after 10 s in TEP. Both JK,net and JK,in peaked within 10 s of incubation and decreased rapidly during the initial 120 s. The use of inhibitors for the Na+,K+-ATPase (ouabain) and the Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC; bumetanide) indicated that rapid increases in JK,in and JK,net upon incubation of resting RBCs in TEP were due primarily to increased Na+,K+-ATPase activity; the NKCC appeared to be involved only when the Na+,K+-ATPase was blocked. It is concluded that RBCs rapidly increase JK,in and JK,net in response to exercise-induced changes in plasma composition.

Abstract
Until recently, the existence of a Na+-K+-2Cl− cotransporter (NKCC) in skeletal muscle was unclear. Recent evidence shows that the NKCC is strongly expressed and provides both K+ and water transport functions in resting and contracting skeletal muscle. The contribution of NKCC activity to K+ and volume regulation in skeletal muscle has potential consequences for muscle contractility and metabolism.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that the NKCC is involved in volume regulation, specifically regulatory volume increase (RVI), in resting skeletal muscle. Neurally and vascularly isolated rat hindlimbs were perfused with a bovine erythrocyte perfusate containing (42)K or (86)Rb as markers of unidirectional K(+) flux across the sarcolemma. Compared to controls, perfusion with 120 microM bumetanide (a specific inhibitor of the NKCC) decreased J(in)K by 15+/-2%, indicating the functional presence of the NKCC. Experiments with ouabain (to block active K(+) transport by the Na,K ATPase) showed that the bumetanide-sensitive component of J(in)K comprised 35% of the total ouabain-sensitive J(in)K. Inhibition of NKCC resulted in a net loss of water by muscle. When hindlimbs were perfused with hypertonic (380 mOsm/L by addition of sucrose) perfusate for 20 min, after initially blocking K(+) channels with 1 mM barium, J(in)K rapidly (2-3 min) increased 2-fold followed by a rapid decline. This rapid, transient increase in J(in)K was abolished with bumetanide, confirming that perfusion with hypertonic perfusate stimulated NKCC activity and RVI. The hypertonic perfusate also resulted in temporally associated decreases in net water uptake by muscle. It is concluded that a functional NKCC is present in mammalian skeletal muscle and that it is involved in cell volume regulation.

Abstract
The effect of inducing subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) on the free-choice intake of sodium bicarbonate (SB) was investigated in four midlactation Holstein cows in a switchover experiment with four 1-wk periods. The SARA was induced by replacing 25% of the ad libitum intake of total mixed ration (TMR) with pellets containing 50% ground wheat and 50% ground barley and restricting access to TMR from 0700 to 1700 h. Control consisted of feeding TMR ad libitum. Powdered SB was provided for ad libitum consumption. Rumen pH was measured continuously using indwelling pH probes. Induction of SARA reduced (P < 0.05) the average daily rumen pH from 6.08 to 5.87, increased (P < 0.05) the average duration of rumen pH below 6 from 547 min x d(-1) to 916 min x d(-1), and increased (P < 0.05) the average duration of rumen pH below 5.6 from 132 min x d(-1) to 397 min x d(-1) (P < 0.05) but did not significantly affect SB intake. Average intake of SB was 26.8 g x d(-1) during SARA and 34.5 g x d(-1) during control. These low SB intakes must not have substantially affected rumen pH. Sodium bicarbonate intake differed significantly (P < 0.05) between cows. These data indicate that cows did not select SB in order to attenuate SARA.

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to study the effects of a subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) model on diet choice in dairy cows. In the first experiment, 25% of the ad libitum dry matter intake (DMI) of the total mixed ration (TMR) was replaced with wheat-barley pellets (WBP, 50% ground wheat, 50% ground barley). Rumen pH was measured continuously via in-dwelling probes in 4 mid to late lactation cows. This diet change reduced rumen pH by 0.14 +/- 0.02 pH units (mean +/- SE) and increased time below pH 6.0, from 319 +/- 36 min(-1) to 641 +/- 36 min(-1). Hence, the nutritional model successfully induced SARA. The second experiment determined if inducing SARA increases the feed preference for long alfalfa hay compared with alfalfa pellets. The 2 wk of inducing SARA were separated by 1 control wk. Four cows on either SARA and control diets were given a choice of 2 feeds, 2 times per d, for 30 min. The preference ratios (PR = Amount of Hay consumed/Amount of Hay + Pellets consumed) for alfalfa hay during two SARA weeks was greater (0.85 +/- 0.03) compared with the control week (0.60 +/- 0.03). In SARA weeks, average rumen pH was 0.23 +/- 0.03 units lower, and time below pH 6.0 and 5.6 was higher compared to control. These results suggest that when given a choice of feeds, dairy cows alter their diet selection to attempt to attenuate SARA.

Abstract
To test the hypothesis that lactate plays a central role in the distribution of carbohydrate (CHO) potential energy for oxidation and glucose production (GP), we performed a lactate clamp (LC) procedure during rest and moderate intensity exercise. Blood [lactate] was clamped at approximately 4 mM by exogenous lactate infusion. Subjects performed 90 min exercise trials at 65 % of the peak rate of oxygen consumption (V(O(2))(,peak); 65 %), 55 % V(O(2))(,peak) (55 %) and 55 % V(O(2))(,peak) with lactate clamped to the blood [lactate] that was measured at 65 % V(O(2))(,peak) (55 %-LC). Lactate and glucose rates of appearance (R(a)), disappearance (R(d)) and oxidation (R(ox)) were measured with a combination of [3-(13)C]lactate, H(13)CO(3)(-), and [6,6-(2)H(2)]glucose tracers. During rest and exercise, lactate R(a) and R(d) were increased at 55 %-LC compared to 55 %. Glucose R(a) and R(d) were decreased during 55 %-LC compared to 55 %. Lactate R(ox) was increased by LC during exercise (55 %: 6.52 +/- 0.65 and 55 %-LC: 10.01 +/- 0.68 mg kg(-1) min(-1)) which was concurrent with a decrease in glucose oxidation (55 %: 7.64 +/- 0.4 and 55 %-LC: 4.35 +/- 0.31 mg kg(-1) min(-1)). With LC, incorporation of (13)C from tracer lactate into blood glucose (L GNG) increased while both GP and calculated hepatic glycogenolysis (GLY) decreased. Therefore, increased blood [lactate] during moderate intensity exercise increased lactate oxidation, spared blood glucose and decreased glucose production. Further, exogenous lactate infusion did not affect rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during exercise. These results demonstrate that lactate is a useful carbohydrate in times of increased energy demand.

Abstract
The contributions of Na+/K+-ATPase, K+ channels, and the NaK2Cl cotransporter (NKCC) to total and unidirectional K+ flux were determined in mammalian skeletal muscle at rest. Rat hindlimbs were perfused in situ via the femoral artery with a bovine erythrocyte perfusion medium that contained either 86Rb or 42K, or both simultaneously, to determine differences in ability to trace unidirectional K+ flux in the absence and presence of K+-flux inhibitors. In most experiments, the unidirectional flux of K+ into skeletal muscle (JinK) measured using 86Rb was 810% lower than JinK measured using 42K. Ouabain (5 mM) was used to inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase activity, 0.06 mM bumetanide to inhibit NKCC activity, 1 mM tetracaine or 0.5 mM barium to block K+ channels, and 0.05 mM glybenclamide (GLY) to block ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels. In controls, JinK remained unchanged at 0.31 ± 0.03 µmol·g1·min1 during 55 min of perfusion. The ouabain-sensitive Na+/K+-ATPase contributed to 50 ± 2% of basal JinK, K+ channels to 47 ± 2%, and the NKCC to 12 ± 1%. GLY had minimal effect on JinK, and both GLY and barium inhibited unidirectional efflux of K+ (JoutK) from the cell through K+ channels. Combined ouabain and tetracaine reduced JinK by 55 ± 2%, while the combination of ouabain, tetracaine, and bumetanide reduced JinK by 67 ± 2%, suggesting that other K+-flux pathways may be recruited because the combined drug effects on inhibiting JinK were not additive. The main conclusions are that the NKCC accounted for about 12% of JinK, and that KATP channels accounted for nearly all of the JoutK, in resting skeletal muscle in situ.Key words: sodium potassium chloride cotransporter, NKCC, Na+/K+-ATPase, potassium channels, potassium transport, in situ rat hindlimb.

Abstract
The present study compared ouabain-sensitive unidirectional K+ flux into (JinK) and out of (JoutK) perfused rat hindlimb skeletal muscle in situ and mouse flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) in vitro. In situ, 5 mM ouabain inhibited 54 ± 4% of the total JinK in 28 ± 1 min, and increased the net and unidirectional efflux of K+ within 4 min. In contrast, 1.8 mM ouabain inhibited 40 ± 8% of the total JinK in 38 ± 2 min, but did not significantly affect JoutK. In vitro, 1.8 and 0.2 mM ouabain decreased JinK to a greater extent (83 ± 5%) than in situ, but did not significantly affect 42K loss rate compared with controls. The increase in unidirectional K+ efflux (JoutK) with 5 mM ouabain in situ was attributed to increased K+ efflux through cation channels, since addition of barium (1 mM) to ouabain-perfused muscles returned JoutK to baseline values within 12 min. Perfusion with 5 mM ouabain plus 2 mM tetracaine for 30 min decreased JinK 46 ± 9% (0.30 ± 0.03 to 0.16 ± 0.02 µmol·min1·g1), however tetracaine was unable to abolish the ouabain-induced increase in unidirectional K+ efflux. In both rat hindlimb and mouse FDB, tetracaine had no effect on JoutK. Perfusion of hindlimb muscle with 0.1 mM tetrodotoxin (TTX, a Na+ channel blocker) decreased JinK by 15 ± 1%, but had no effect on JoutK; subsequent addition of ouabain (5 mM) decreased JinK a further 32 ± 2%. The ouabain-induced increase in unidirectional K+ efflux did not occur when TTX was perfused prior to and during perfusion with 5 mM ouabain. We conclude that 5 mM ouabain increases the unidirectional efflux of K+ from skeletal muscle through a barium and TTX-sensitive pathway, suggestive of voltage sensitive Na+ channels, in addition to inhibiting Na+/K+-ATPase activity.Key words: cardiac glycoside, Na,K pump, K+ channels, Na+ channels, perfused rat hindlimb, flexor digitorum brevis, TTX, barium, tetracaine.

The increase in unidirectional K+ efflux (JoutK) with 5 mM ouabain in situ was attributed to increased K+ efflux through cation channels, since addition of barium (1 mM) to ouabain-perfused muscles returned JoutK to baseline values within 12 min. Perfusion with 5 mM ouabain plus 2 mM tetracaine for 30 min decreased JinK 46 +/- 9% (0.30 +/- 0.03 to 0.16 +/- 0.02 micromol x min(-1) x g(-1)), however tetracaine was unable to abolish the ouabain-induced increase in unidirectional K+ efflux. In both rat hindlimb and mouse FDB, tetracaine had no effect on JoutK. Perfusion of hindlimb muscle with 0.1 mM tetrodotoxin (TTX, a Na+ channel blocker) decreased JinK by 15 +/- 1%, but had no effect on JoutK; subsequent addition of ouabain (5 mM) decreased JinK a further 32 +/- 2%. The ouabain-induced increase in unidirectional K+ efflux did not occur when TTX was perfused prior to and during perfusion with 5 mM ouabain. We conclude that 5 mM ouabain increases the unidirectional efflux of K+ from skeletal muscle through a barium and TTX-sensitive pathway, suggestive of voltage sensitive Na+ channels, in addition to inhibiting Na+/K+-ATPase activity.

Abstract
It was hypothesized that the caffeine derivative paraxanthine results in subcontracture increases in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in resting skeletal muscle. Single fibers obtained from mouse flexor digitorum brevis were loaded with a fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator, indo 1-acetoxymethyl ester. After a stable baseline was recorded, the fiber was superfused with physiological salt solution (Tyrode) containing 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, or 5 mM paraxanthine, resulting in [Ca(2+)](i) increases of 6.4 +/- 2.5, 9.7 +/- 3.6, 26.8 +/- 11.7, and 39.6 +/- 9.6 nM, respectively. The increases in [Ca(2+)](i) were transient and were also observed with exposure to 5 mM theophylline and theobromine. Six fibers were exposed to 5 mM paraxanthine followed by 5 mM paraxanthine in the presence of 10 mM procaine (sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release channel blocker). There was no increase from baseline [Ca(2+)](i) when fibers were superfused with paraxanthine and procaine, suggesting that the sarcoplasmic reticulum is the primary Ca(2+) source in the paraxanthine-induced response. In separate experiments, intact flexor digitorum brevis (n = 13) loaded with indo 1-acetoxymethyl ester had a significant increase in [Ca(2+)](i) with exposure to 0.01 mM paraxanthine. It is concluded that physiological and low pharmacological concentrations of paraxanthine result in transient, subcontracture increases in [Ca(2+)](i) in resting skeletal muscle, the magnitude of which is related to paraxanthine concentration.

Abstract
The effect of humid heat acclimation on thermoregulatory responses to humid and dry exercise-heat stress was studied in six exercise-trained Thoroughbred horses. Horses were heat acclimated by performing moderate-intensity exercise for 21 days in heat and humidity (HH) [34.2-35.7 degrees C; 84-86% relative humidity (RH); wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index approximately 32 degrees C]. Horses completed exercise tests at 50% of peak O(2) uptake until a pulmonary arterial temperature (T(pa)) of 41.5 degrees C was attained in cool dry (CD) (20-21.5 degrees C; 45-50% RH; WBGT approximately 16 degrees C), hot dry (HD 0) [32-34 degrees C room temperature (RT); 45-55% RH; WBGT approximately 25 degrees C], and HH conditions (HH 0), and during the second hour of HH on days 3, 7, 14, and 21, and in HD on the 18th day (HD 18) of heat acclimation. The ratios of required evaporative capacity to maximal evaporative capacity of the environment (E(req)/E(max)) for CD, HD, and HH were approximately 1.2, 1.6, and 2.5, respectively. Preexercise T(pa) and rectal temperature were approximately 0.5 degrees C lower (P < 0. 05) on days 7, 14, and 21 compared with day 0. With exercise in HH, there was no effect of heat acclimation on the rate of rise in T(pa) (and therefore exercise duration) nor the rate of heat storage. In contrast, exercise duration was longer, rate of rise in T(pa) was significantly slower, and rate of heat storage was decreased on HD 18 compared with HD 0. It was concluded that, during uncompensable heat stress in horses, heat acclimation provided modest heat strain advantages when E(req)/E(max) was approximately 1.6, but at higher E(req)/E(max) no advantages were observed.

Abstract
The purposes of this study were 1) to determine the compartmentation of body water in horses by using indicator dilution techniques and 2) to simultaneously measure bioelectrical impedance to current flow at impulse current frequencies of 5 and 200 kHz to formulate predictive equations that could be used to estimate total body water (TBW), extracellular fluid volume (ECFV), and intracellular fluid volume (ICFV). Eight horses and ponies weighing from 214 to 636 kg had catheters placed into the left and right jugular veins. Deuterium oxide, sodium thiocyanate, and Evans blue were infused for the measurement of TBW, ECFV, and plasma volume (PV), respectively. Bioelectrical impedance was measured by using a tetrapolar electrode configuration, with electrode pairs secured above the knee and hock. Measured TBW, ECFV, and PV were 0.677 +/- 0.022, 0.253 +/- 0.006, and 0.040 +/- 0.002 l/kg body mass, respectively. Strong linear correlations were determined among measured variables that allowed for the prediction of TBW, ECFV, ICFV, and PV from measures of horse length or height and impedance. It is concluded that bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can be used to improve the predictive accuracy of noninvasive estimates of ECFV and PV in euhydrated horses at rest.

Abstract
This study determined the plasma volume (PV) and ion responses to heat acclimation and exercise in six trained Thoroughbred horses during 21 days of exposure to heat and humidity (33 degrees C, 83% relative humidity) for 4 h/day. During the 2nd h on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21, horses performed a standardized treadmill test, running at 50% of peak O(2) uptake until pulmonary artery temperature reached 41.5 degrees C. Heat acclimation resulted in an increase in PV from 21.3 +/- 1.1 liters on day 0 to 24.3 +/- 1.0 liters on day 14, returning to 22.6 +/- 0.9 liters on day 21. The corresponding total plasma protein contents were 1,273 +/- 53, 1,455 +/- 81, and 1,377 +/- 57 g, respectively, and increases in total plasma Na(+) plus Cl(-) content were 5,145 +/- 126, 5,749 +/- 146, and 5,394 +/- 114 mmol, respectively. Thus changes in PV were accompanied by direct changes in plasma protein and osmolyte contents. With exercise on day 0, PV decreased by 7.1 +/- 0.7% at 5 min of exercise and remained decreased (-6.7 +/- 1.3%) at 5 min of recovery. By day 21, PV decreased significantly less than on day 0 (by 5.2 +/- 0.9% at 5 min of exercise), was decreased by only 2.0 +/- 1.6% at 5 min of recovery, and was fully restored at 15 min of recovery. Plasma Na(+) concentration increased 3 meq/l during the first 5 min of exercise and was normalized by 5 min of recovery on day 0 and by end exercise on day 21. It is concluded that improved ability to regulate PV during exercise in response to heat acclimatization is associated with an increased PV and an improved conservation of Na(+).

Abstract
This paper describes and quantifies acute responses of the kidneys in correcting plasma volume, acid-base, and ion disturbances resulting from NaHCO(3) and KHCO(3) ingestion. Renal excretion of ions and water was studied in five men after ingestion of 3.57 mmol/kg body mass of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO(3)) and, in a separate trial, potassium bicarbonate (KHCO(3)). Subjects had a Foley catheter inserted into the bladder and indwelling catheters placed into an antecubital vein and a brachial artery. Blood and urine were sampled in the 30-min period before, the 60-min period during, and the 210-min period after ingestion of the solutions. NaHCO(3) ingestion resulted in a rapid, transient diuresis and natriuresis. Cumulative urine output was 44 +/- 11% of ingested volume, resulting in a 555 +/- 119 ml increase in total body water at the end of the experiment. The cumulative increase (above basal levels) in renal Na(+) excretion accounted for 24 +/- 2% of ingested Na(+). In the KHCO(3) trial, arterial plasma K(+) concentration rapidly increased from 4.25 +/- 0.10 to a peak of 7.17 +/- 0.13 meq/l 140 min after the beginning of ingestion. This increase resulted in a pronounced, transient diuresis, with cumulative urine output at 270 min similar to the volume ingested, natriuresis, and a pronounced kaliuresis that was maintained until the end of the experiment. Cumulative (above basal) renal K(+) excretion at 270 min accounted for 26 +/- 5% of ingested K(+). The kidneys were important in mediating rapid corrections of substantial portions of the fluid and electrolyte disturbances resulting from ingestion of KHCO(3) and NaHCO(3) solutions.

Abstract
The hypothesis was tested that exercise-induced changes in plasma composition stimulate unidirectional K(+) transport (J(in)K) in human red blood cells (RBCs). Ten men performed two 30-s high-intensity leg-cycling tests separated by 4 min of rest. Antecubital venous blood was sampled before exercise and at the end of the second exercise bout. RBCs were separated from true exercise plasma, (42)K was added to plasma, and RBC K(+) transport was studied in vitro at 37 degrees C. In the second part of the study, blood from nine healthy men studied in vitro at 37 degrees C was used to test the hypothesis that exercise-simulated (ES) plasma stimulates net K(+) transport and J(in)K (measured using (86)Rb) in human RBCs. The J(in)K of resting RBCs added to true exercise plasma was 1,574 +/- 200 (SE) micromol. h(-1). l(-1) vs. 1,236 +/- 256 micromol. h(-1). l(-1) in true resting plasma at 2 min (controls). In true exercise and ES plasma, J(in)K was increased through activation of the ouabain-sensitive Na(+)-K(+) pump and the bumetanide-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter. Increases in plasma osmolality and K(+), H(+), and epinephrine concentrations independently and in combination stimulated K(+) transport into human RBCs. In a third series of experiments, in which ES plasma K(+) concentration was continuously measured during the first 5 min of incubation of RBCs, a 1.6 +/- 0.3 mmol/l decrease in plasma K(+) concentration occurred during the first 2 min. It is concluded that RBCs transport K(+) at elevated rates in response to exercise-induced changes in plasma composition.
