These workers show that metabolic acidosis inhibits kidney protein degradation in volunteers - an effect that contrasts sharply with the well documented stimulation of degradation in muscle, demonstrating the tissue-specific nature of the response to acidosis.

This study examines the in-vivo effect of acute metabolic acidosis on a variety of different tissues in rats. It shows that acute acidosis inhibits protein synthesis and that this effect is specific to skeletal muscle.
