Krebs–Henseleit solution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Krebs–Henseleit solution, developed by Hans Krebs and Kurt Henseleit, is a solution containing sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), calcium (Ca), magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), bicarbonate (HCO3), phosphate (PO4), glucose,[1] and sometimes supplemented with albumin, and tromethamine (THAM).[2]

It has been used experimentally, for instance to study arteries ex vivo,[3] in Langendorff heart preparations,[4] and during isolated muscle testing of mammalian skeletal muscles.
