Abstract
Twenty patients, divided in two groups to ten were undergoing a fasting period for 14 days. One group received 80 mEq potassium per day. Despite of identical loss of body-weight, the application of potassium showed the following advantages: 1) The body is able to keep acid-base-balance. 2) The important loss of potassium, induced by starvation can be reduced to a minimum.Entities:
