Elevation of urinary pH promotes the urinary excretion of VCM, likely by promoting the dissociation of the carboxyl group of VCM. Thus, in the clinical setting, urinary pH should be measured and considered when determining dosage, as it may affect the VCM blood concentration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
