The content of indices of protein and nitrogen metabolism in the blood of newborn calves has been studied under the conditions of experimental metabolic acidosis and alkalosis. It has been found that the state of experimental metabolic acidosis of the calves for the first 36 hours of their life is accompanied by the decrease in the content of protein and its basic fractions. Under experimental metabolic alkalosis the concentration of the mentioned indices considerably grows, and it even exceeds physiological values. The obtained results also evidence for the considerable role of hemoglobin buffer system of the newborn calves in regulation of organism acid-base-state.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009584	Nitrogen	An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight [14.00643; 14.00728]. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.
D011506	Proteins	Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D000138	Acidosis	A pathologic condition of acid accumulation or depletion of base in the body. The two main types are RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up.	Metabolic Acidosis,Acidoses,Acidoses, Metabolic,Acidosis, Metabolic,Metabolic Acidoses
D000471	Alkalosis	A pathological condition that removes acid or adds base to the body fluids.	Alkaloses
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
