Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Ammonium acetate is a weak diuretic, diaphoretic and nutrient. Useful pharmacological qualities are overrated. Often a vehicle for other diuretics.
Medicinally, as a 7% aqueous solution.
As a nutrient, it increases fat content of milk.
