What's the difference between alkalify and alkalize?
Alkalify
Definition:
(v. t.) To convert into an alkali; to give alkaline properties to.
(v. i.) To become changed into an alkali.
Example Sentences:
(1) The number of viable cells decreased as well as the ability to evolve oxygen, to produce C-4 compounds, and to react to pH changes by liberating acids upon alkalifying or neutral products upon acidifying.
Alkalize
Definition:
(v. t.) To render alkaline; to communicate the properties of an alkali to.
Example Sentences:
(1) The effect of intravenously administered distilled water was examined alone and during alkalization in a patient with gross hematuria associated with the sickle cell trait.
(2) Cimetidine was extracted from alkalized plasma with ethyl acetate, washed once over hydrochloric acid, re-extracted into ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was evaporated to dryness.
(3) Sodium bicarbonate induced significantly higher base excess and PCO2 values, while the tris buffer mixture seemed to have a greater alkalizing effect intracellularly.
(4) In these experiments aqueous calciumhydroxide suspensions demonstrate the comparably highest alkalization combined with a profound longacting antimicrobial action.
(5) In contrast, the alkalization induced by AII was abolished by both amiloride and Na(+)-free medium.
(6) P. mirabilis caused the strongest alkalization in infected urine.
(7) We recommend fecal alkalization before lyophilization in future measurements of fecal energy excretion.
(8) Two patients required oral alkalizing agents as a result of persistent systemic acidosis.
(9) However, conditions that activate phosphofructokinase, such as addition of ammonium sulfate or fructose 2,6-bisphosphate or alkalization, removed the inhibition of hexokinase without noticeably affecting the glucokinase component of usage.
(10) Treatment consists of administration of urinary alkalizing agents and alpha-mercaptopropionylglycine.
(11) A randomized double blind study was carried out to determine whether alkalization of a 0.25% bupivacaine solution in a fentanyl-bupivacaine mixture hastened the onset, and increased the duration and quality, of extradural analgesia during labour.
(12) In contrast to the ATPase reactions, SDH activity was decreased equally, in both extra- and intrafusal fibres, with increasing acidity and alkality of the preincubation medium.
(13) Feeding MSG had a marked alkalizing effect on the urine.
(14) The alkalization induced by ET was Ca2(+)-dependent and was inhibited by a calcium channel blocker, nicardipine.
(15) Histochemical study of so-called neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (NCL) showed that the stored material is extractable in the unfixed state especially with alkalized or acidified chloroform-methanol mixtures when compared with other solvents.
(16) Alkalization-stimulated Ca2+ release from vesicles is analyzed kinetically.
(17) If potassium is added in the presence of sodium, a further alkalization is obtained; in contrast, potassium addition in presence of Li+ or NH+4 does not change the internal pH.
(18) IUD use causes an increase in the number of macrophages and neutrophils, in IgG and IgM levels, and alkalic phosphatase and local fibrinolytic activity in the endometrium.
(19) NH4Cl also caused intracellular alkalization, but independently of extracellular Na+.
(20) It can be concluded that alkalizing a 0.25% bupivacaine solution in a fentanyl-bupivacaine mixture for epidural analgesia in labour has no clinical value.
