Effect of potential renal acid load of foods on urinary citrate excretion in calcium renal stone formers
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the potential renal acid load (PRAL) of the diet on the urinary risk factors for renal stone formation. The present series comprises 187 consecutive renal calcium stone patients (114 males, 73 females) who were studied in our stone clinic. Each patient was subjected to an ...
Increased Intake of Selected Vegetables, Herbs and Fruit may Reduce Bone Turnover in Post-Menopausal Women
Abstract: Increased consumption of vegetables/herbs/fruit may reduce bone turnover and urinary calcium loss in post-menopausal women because of increased intake of polyphenols and potassium, but comparative human studies are lacking. The main aim was to compare bone turnover markers and urinary calcium excretion in two randomised groups ...
Association between dietary acid–base load and cardiometabolic risk factors in young Japanese women
Mild metabolic acidosis, which can be caused by diet, may adversely affect cardiometabolic risk factors, possibly by increasing cortisol production. Methodologies for estimating diet-induced acid–base load using dietary-intake information have been established. To our knowledge, however, the possible association between dietary acid–base ...
Dietary acid load and risk of type 2 diabetes: the E3N-EPIC cohort study
Abstract
Aims/hypothesis The objective of this study was to evaluate the prospective relationship between dietary acid load,
assessed with both the potential renal acid load (PRAL) and the net endogenous acid production (NEAP) scores, and type 2 diabetes risk.
Methods A total of 66,485 women fromthe E3N-EPIC cohort were followed for incident diabetes over 14 years. ...
Effect of diet on plasma acid-base composition in normal humans
Effect of diet on plasma acid-base composition in normal humans. Steady-state plasma and urine acid-base composition was assessed in 19 studies of 16 normal subjects who ingested constant amounts of one of three diets that resulted in different rates of endogenous noncarbonic acid production (EAP) within the normal range. Renal net acid excretion (NAF) was used to quantify EAP ...
Diet-induced acidosis: is it real and clinically relevant?
The concept of diet-induced ‘acidosis’ as a cause of disease has been a subject of interest for more than a century. The present article reviews the history of our evolving understanding of physiological pH, the physiological support for the concept of ‘acidosis’, the causes of acidosis, how it is recognised, its short-term effects as well as the long-term clinical relevance ...
Avaliação do potencial alcalinizante das águas minerais comercialmente disponíveis em território brasileiro
RESUMO
Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil de águas minerais comercialmente disponíveis em território brasileiro (provenientes de fontes nacionais e internacionais) através do cálculo do potencial de carga ácida renal (PRAL). Métodos: Foram avaliadas 308 águas minerais comercialmente disponíveis nas cinco macrorregiões ...
Avaliação do potencial acidificante da dieta típica brasileira
RESUMO
Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil da dieta típica brasileira de acordo com os cinco macrorregiões do país através do cálculo do PRAL (potencial de cargo ácido renal).
Método: O padrão de alimentação consumido por brasileiros foi elaborado com base no consumo alimentar médio per capita, segundo as grandes regiões do país descrito no “Pesquisa de Orçamento ...
