  The baryon axial currents are calculated at one-loop order in heavy baryon
chiral perturbation theory by employing both a cutoff and dimensional
regularization. Data from the semileptonic baryon decays is used to perform a
least-squares fit to the two axial couplings D and F of the effective
Lagrangian. Predictions for the momentum dependent axial form factors are made
and the two different regularization schemes are compared. We also include the
spin-3/2 decuplet in the effective theory.
