2. Figure 1
Leu-C kinetic balance (in μmol · min−1 · 1.73 m2 BS−1) (ie, the differences between Leu-C disposal into protein synthesis minus its release from proteolysis), across the splanchnic area, in the subjects with induced metabolic acidosis (black bars) and in controls (white bars). The kinetic data were calculated both in plasma (left bars) and in the whole blood (right bars). The P value indicates the significant difference between the acidotic and the control subjects (by the Student t test).

Correlation between splanchnic protein synthesis (expressed as leucine disposal into protein, in μmol · min−1 · 1.73 m2 BS−1) and splanchnic oxygen uptake (in mL · min−1 · 1.73 m2 BS−1) in all the subjects studied. The data were available from 12 subjects.

Correlation between blood bicarbonate concentrations (in mmol/L) and splanchnic ammonia fractional extraction (expressed as %) in all the subjects studied. The data were available from 12 subjects.
