Intraocular pressure, blood pH, plasma osmolarily, blood lactate, blood pyruvate, blood pressure, and pulse ivere monitored in 12 human subjects following exercise. Intraocular pressure was found to decrease after exercise. This decrease was associated with a rise of blood lactate and plasma osmolarity and a fall in blood pH. The fall in intraocular pressure after exercise was compared to that ...

In the present study, a retrospective analysis of the trends and factors affecting blood glucose and blood lactate levels was carried out for non-diabetic adult patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Between October 2009 and October 2011, 200 non-diabetic adult patients undergoing CABG surgery were examined. Glucose and lactic acid levels were observed successiv...

The current study was designed to estimate the pork quality traits using metabolites from exsanguination blood and postmortem muscle simultaneously under the Korean standard pre- and post-slaughter conditions. A total of 111 Yorkshire (pure breed and castrated male) pigs were evaluated under the Korean standard conditions. Measurements were taken of the levels of blood glucose and lactate at ex...

Lactate acts as a 'buffer' between glycolysis and oxidative metabolism. In addition to being exchanged as a fuel by the monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) between cells and tissues with different glycolytic and oxidative rates, lactate may be a 'volume transmitter' of brain signals. According to some, lactate is a preferred fuel for brain metabolism. Immediately after brain activation, the rat...

A lactate clamp method has been developed to quantify the whole body lactate utilization in conscious, unstressed rats. Dichloroacetate (DCA), a known lactate utilization enhancer, was used to validate the method. Fasting blood lactate concentrations before the clamps were identical for DCA-treated (1 mmol/kg) and control groups (1.65 ± 0.37 vs. 1.65 ± 0.19 mM). The animals received a primed co...

Current understanding of lactate metabolism in fish is based almost entirely on the interpretation of concentration measurements that cannot be used to infer changes in flux. The goals of this investigation were: (1) to quantify baseline lactate fluxes in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) under normoxic conditions; (2) to establish how changes in rates of lactate appearance (R(a)) and disposa...

AIM To investigate the relation between common acid-base parameters and blood lactate concentrations and their prognostic importance in sick, ventilated neonates. METHODS Two hundred and seventy eight serial simultaneous measurements of arterial acid-base status and blood lactate concentrations were carried out in 75 mechanically ventilated neonates with indwelling arterial catheters (gestati...
