Abstract
Summary
1. Data have been presented to show that pH plays an important role in the toxic response of mice injected with vanadium. Shifting the pH of vanadium solutions toward greater acidity tended to decrease the toxicity. 2. One of the processes by which vanadium is detoxified is probably acidification. Increasing the blood bicarbonate conversely appears to retard detoxication.
