Single pyruvate intake induces blood alkalization and modification of resting metabolism in humans

Three separate studies were performed with the aim to 1) determine the effect of a single sodium pyruvate intake on the blood acid-base status in males and females; 2) compare the effect of sodium and calcium pyruvate salts and establish their role in the lipolysis rate; and 3) quantify the effect of single pyruvate intake on the resting energy metabolism.In all, 48 individuals completed three separate studies. In all the studies, participants...
