HEALTH EFFECT OF USING ALKALINE DIET IN THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS AND DISRUPTION OF SERUM ELECTROLYTES OF EXPERIMENT RATS

Abstract

This study was conducted at Al-Nahrain University- Biotechnology Research Center, from February 2020 to March 2020 on Albino rats that ranged in age 2- 3 month with weights 200-250 g. 42 rats were used and distributed into seven groups, each of which included 6 animals. aimed to study the effect of diabetes (induced by alloxan) on acid-base homeostasis and serum electrolytes level for experimental rat in addition to the role of adding potassium supplement celery plant extract and pomegranate juice to the diet in preventing the physiological disorders. Alkali proposed to help prevent the development and treatment of high blood acid and body fluids. Different treatments led to positive effects on the level of the concentration of glucose, β-hydroxybutyrate, electrolytes and serum Ph.
