Hypoxia is not the sole cause of lactate production during shock.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Traditionally, elevated blood lactate after hemorrhage is interpreted as tissue hypoperfusion, hypoxia, and anaerobic glycolysis. The severity and duration of the increase in blood lactate correlate with death. Recent in vitro studies indicate that epinephrine stimulates lactate production in well-oxygenated skeletal muscle by increasing activity of the Na+-K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), which derives a significant amount of adenosine triphosphate from glycolysis. Using in vivo microdialysis, we tested whether inhibiting the Na+-K+ pump with ouabain could reduce muscle lactate production during local exposure, via the microdialysis probe, to epinephrine or during hemorrhage in rats. METHODS Microdialysis catheters were placed in the muscle of both thighs of pentobarbital-anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats (275-350 g) and perfused (1 microL/min) with Krebs-phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing ethanol (5 mmol/L) to permit assessment of changes in local blood flow. To inhibit the Na+-K+-ATPase, ouabain (2-3 mmol/L) was added to the perfusate of one leg. In one series of studies, epinephrine was added to the perfusate. In another series, rats were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure of 45 mm Hg for 30 minutes, followed by resuscitation with shed blood and 0.9% sodium chloride. Dialysate fractions were analyzed for lactate and ethanol fluorometrically. RESULTS Lactate rose during epinephrine exposure or during hemorrhage and resuscitation. Treatment with ouabain reduced dialysate lactate concentration significantly in both series of studies. Local blood flow was reduced by either epinephrine or hemorrhage, but returned toward baseline afterward. Ouabain had no apparent effect on local blood flow. CONCLUSION Increased Na+-K+ATPase activity during epinephrine treatment or hemorrhage contributes to muscle lactate production. Hypoxia is not necessarily the sole cause of hyperlactatemia during and after hemorrhagic shock.

Relationships of pyruvate and lactate during anaerobic metabolism. I. Effects of infusion of pyruvate or glucose and of hyperventilation.
During septic shock, muscle produces lactate by way of an exaggerated NaKYadenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)Ystimulated aerobic glycolysis associated with epinephrine stimulation possibly through "2 adrenoreceptor involvement. It therefore seems logical that a proportion of hyperlactatemia in low cardiac output states would be also related to this mechanism. Thus, in low-flow and normal-to-highY...
متن کاملHemodynamics, coronary blood flow, and myocardial metabolism in coronary shock; response of 1-norepinephrine and isoproterenol.
Hemodynamics and myocardial metabolism were evaluated in 18 patients in cardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction. The response to l-norepinephrine was studied in seven cases and the response to isoproterenol in four cases. Cardiac index (CI) was markedly reduced, averaging 1.35 liters/min per m(2). Mean arterial pressure ranged from 40 to 65 mm Hg while systemic vascular resistan...
متن کاملPredicting factors of serum lactate in patients under general anesthesia with propofol during spine surgery
Introduction: Increased serum lactate is seen during surgery due to tissue hypoxia. There have been reports of propofol infusion syndrome due to long-term use of this drug, especially in intensive care patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the factors affecting serum lactate levels in patients under general anesthesia with propofol in spine surgery. Methods: In a cross-sectional study...
متن کاملSepsis-associated hyperlactatemia
There is overwhelming evidence that sepsis and septic shock are associated with hyperlactatemia (sepsis-associated hyperlactatemia (SAHL)). SAHL is a strong independent predictor of mortality and its presence and progression are widely appreciated by clinicians to define a very high-risk population. Until recently, the dominant paradigm has been that SAHL is a marker of tissue hypoxia. Accordin...
متن کاملInfluence of bioenergetic stress on heat shock protein gene expression in nucleated red blood cells of fish.
The physiological and biochemical signals that induce stress protein (HSP) synthesis remain conjectural. In this study, we used the nucleated red blood cells from rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, to address the interaction between energy status and HSP gene expression. Heat shock (25°C) did not significantly affect ATP levels but resulted in an increase in HSP70 mRNA. Hypoxia alone did not i...
