- Abstract:
- Before and after a session of the district council in the village of Mellach, capillary blood samples of similar to 100 ml were taken from the fingertips of 2 female and 11 male counselors from which pH, pCO(2), BE, Mg++, K++, lactate and blood glucose were determined with a Phox - M analyzer of the NOVA Biomedical corporation. Group averages already revealed altogether very low Mg++ and high blood glucose levels. Correlations between pCO(2) and pH, pH and K or Mg++ showed similar anticipatory reactions as in sportive competitors, with similarly immanent possibilities of prognoses of efforts during the proper session. It turned out, that those counselors who were the most excited beforehand were also those with the most pronounced reactions to the session which underlines our earlier findings about additive secretion of adrenaline [5, 6]. In all counselors a mostly more- sometimes less pronounced overcompensation of acidic metabolites by CO2 loss during the session led to alkaline pH. Alkaline pH in its turn is better able to bind O-2 and also Mg++. We hypothesized, that low Mg++ levels during increased metabolic activity by mental stress may at least partly be due to the increased binding capacity of the alkaline blood. Taken all together, the results show that considerable and predictable metabolic activities brought about by repeated mental stress on top of the daily worries could at least partly explain the unsatisfactory glucose and Mg++ situation of the village politicians.
