Effects of ammonium chloride ingestion on phosphocreatine metabolism during moderate- and heavy-intensity plantar-flexion exercise

This study examined the effects of NH 4 Cl ingestion on phosphocreatine (PCr) metabolism during 9 min of moderate- (MOD) and heavy- (HVY) intensity constant-load isotonic plantar-flexion exercise. Healthy young adult male subjects ( n  = 8) completed both a control (CON) and NH 4 Cl ingestion (ACID)...

Zusammenfassung:This study examined the effects of NH 4 Cl ingestion on phosphocreatine (PCr) metabolism during 9 min of moderate- (MOD) and heavy- (HVY) intensity constant-load isotonic plantar-flexion exercise. Healthy young adult male subjects ( n  = 8) completed both a control (CON) and NH 4 Cl ingestion (ACID) trial. Phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to monitor changes in intracellular pH (pHi), [Pi], [PCr], and [ATP]. During the Middle (3–6 min) and Late (6–9 min) stages of HVY, ACID was associated with a higher ( P
