Microelectrode measurements and pharmacological inhibitor studies carried out on larval stages demonstrated that maintenance
of alkaline gastric pH represents a substantial energy sink under acidified conditions that may contribute up to 30 % to the total energy budget.
Maintenance
of alkaline gastric pH and reductions in maternal energy reserves probably constitute the main factors for a reduced juvenile recruitment of this marine keystone species under simulated OA.
Not exact matches
Drinking sodas, especially on an empty stomach, can upset the fragile acid -
alkaline balance
of the stomach and other
gastric lining, creating a continuous acid environment.
