And this is key, because a hormone's chemical structure determines if it's water soluble, like most amino acid-based ones are, or lipid soluble, like steroids are.

这是关键，因为激素的化学结构决定了它是像大多数氨基酸一样是水溶性的，还是像类固醇一样是脂溶性的。

Now, this isn't always the case for acidosis, though, for example, in respiratory acidosis, potassium levels aren't affected because CO2 is lipid soluble and freely moves into cells without being exchanged for potassium, therefore no hyperkalemia.

但是酸中毒的情况并不都是如此，例如，在呼吸性酸中毒时，钾离子水平不受影响，因为CO2是脂溶性的，可以自由进出细胞不需要钾离子做交换，因此这种情况下，不会产生高钾血症。
