What potassium hydrogencarbonate moved, and by how much

  • MD mean difference. Brackets: the interval as reported.
  • Dose studied: as its paper gave it.
  • Evidence strength: computed from the study. How it is computed
  1. Flow-mediated dilationMoved: raisesEvidence: Very limitedPaper: PMID 200837242010
    Who
    42 individuals with untreated mildly raised blood pressure · n = 42
    Dose studied
    not reported

    Compared with placebo, both potassium chloride and potassium bicarbonate significantly improved endothelial function as measured by brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation, increased arterial compliance as assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, decreased left ventricular mass, and improved left ventricular diastolic function.”

  2. Serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)Moved: raisesEffect, as reportedMD7.2[0.4 to 13.9]Evidence: Very limitedPaper: PMID 417807312026
    Who
    Healthy free-living adults aged 65 years or older in a 2 x 2 factorial trial; KHCO3 versus placebo-KHCO3 compared at the margins, with whey protein given in half of each KHCO3 comparison arm
    Dose studied
    potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) 81 mmol/d

    However, 24-wk mean IGF-1 level was higher in the WP and KHCO3 groups compared with their respective placebo [WP to placebo-WP difference 14.2 ng/mL (95% CI: 7.5, 21.0; P < 0.01); KHCO3 to placebo-KHCO3 difference 7.2 ng/mL (95% CI: 0.4, 13.9; P = 0.04)].”
