The activities of some glycolytic and associated enzymes have been determined in the muscles of trout and carp to investigate the possibility that the discrepancies previously reported between lactate accumulation and anoxic tolerance in these two fish result from underlying differences in glycolytic potential. Steady state concentrations of certain glycolytic intermediates were also determined...

in order to study stress tolerance indices and identifying tolerance genotypes to drought stress condition 16 genotypes of durum wheat were assessed in a randomized complete block design with four replications under two irrigated and rainfed conditions in the research station located in west of iran ilam in 2006- 2007. results showed that variation in among durum wheat genotypes under irrigated...

PURPOSE To investigate insulin resistance and atherosclerotic change in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). SUBJECTS Sixty-three patients with BRVO, 859 age- and sex-matched control subjects without BRVO who received the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and 53 control subjects, in whom carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured by high-resolution ultrason...

We sought to determine (a) if early lactate clearance is associated with improved survival in emergency department patients with severe sepsis and (b) the concordance between central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) optimization and lactate clearance during early sepsis resuscitation. Within a multicenter shock research network that uses quantitative resuscitation for severe sepsis, we analyzed...

Metabolic interventions improve performance during demand-induced ischemia by reducing myocardial lactate production and improving regional systolic function. We tested the hypotheses that 1) stimulation of glycolysis would increase lactate production and improve ventricular wall motion, and 2) the addition of fatty acid oxidation inhibition would reduce lactate production and further improve c...

The native kidney has a major role in lactate metabolism. The renal cortex appears to be the major lactate-consuming organ in the body after the liver. Under conditions of exogenous hyperlactatemia, the kidney is responsible for the removal of 25-30% of all infused lactate. Most of such removal is through lactate metabolism rather than excretion, although under conditions of marked hyperlactate...
