The anaerobic metabolism and its link with lactate and glycogen/glucose levels of muscles, liver and blood were quantitatively analyzed in tilapia, O. mossambicus under four different oxygen concentrations 5.20 + 0.65 (control), 3.66 + 0.55, 2.53 + 0.69 and 1.58 + 0.41 and recovery after 2 hrs (3.78 + 0.46) . The glycogen levels of muscle and liver reduced drastically at the oxygen level of 3.6...

Mesenteric ischemia can complicate acute aortic dissection. We report a case of acute type A aortic dissection with perioperative intestinal ischemia, which clinically manifested on the second postoperative day. Serial monitoring of serum lactate level by a conventional blood gas analyzer was useful for early diagnosis and for timely treatment of intestinal ischemia. In this report, monitoring ...

To study the role of muscle mass and muscle activity on lactate and energy kinetics during exercise, whole body and limb lactate, glucose, and fatty acid fluxes were determined in six elite cross-country skiers during roller-skiing for 40 min with the diagonal stride (Continuous Arm + Leg) followed by 10 min of double poling and diagonal stride at 72-76% maximal O(2) uptake. A high lactate appe...

BACKGROUND The current practice concerning timing, mode, and dose of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients with metformin-associated lactic acidosis (MALA) with renal failure remains unknown. To investigate whether serum lactate level and prescription pattern of RRT are associated with mortality in patients with MALA requiring RRT. METHODS We searched PubMed/Medline and EMBASE from ince...

Physiol. 207(6): 1226-1230. rg64.-Sodium lactate infusions into unanesthetized pancreatectomized dogs, with indwelling arterial and venous catheters, markedly decreased the plasma free fatty acid (FFA) level. Infusions of palmitate-rCl4 at constant rates s...

Methods We have retrospectively identified septic shock patients who received protocolized treatment in two tertiary academic EDs. All patients were treated using the early goaldirected protocol. The data with respect to demographics, predisposing factors, site of infection, and the admission APACHE II score were collected. Hemodynamic (mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure) and la...

To determine whether the levels of oxygen consumption (VO2) required to relieve an existing oxygen debt are variable, increases in VO2 produced by increases in oxygen delivery (DO2) were evaluated longitudinally in septic patients with lactic acidosis and related to changes in lactate levels. Interventions were performed in 17 patients and consisted of fluid administration (n = 11), packed red ...

This study evaluated the levels of D(–)-lactate and L(+)-lactate, ratio to total lactate (D(–)-lactate + L(+)-lactate) 15 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) using an enzymatic method. L(+)-lactate in LAB ranged from 0.31 13.9 mM 0.76 39.3 mM, respectively, Bifidobacterium sp.; 1.08 11.7 0.69–13.0 Lactobacillus 0.72 20.3 0.98 32.3 Leuconostoc sp., 33.0 39.2 Pediococcus acidilacti KCCM 11747. The range D...

AIM This study was conducted with the objective of identifying and evaluating intrapartum fetal stress in connection with the type of delivery in bitches. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 26 bitches between 1 and 5 years, belonging to 10 different breeds were evaluated. Bitches were subjected to detailed clinico-gynecological examination based on history. Neonatal stress associated with spont...

Glucose extraction by ischemic human mvocardium was investigated at the time of diagnostic cardiac catheterization in 27 subjects who had fasted overnight. Paired arterial and coronary sinus blood samples, obtained before and during coronary sinus pacing, were analyzed for glucose and lactate. Pacing to a rate 50 to 70% greater than control or to the development of chest pain induced no signifi...
