The level of lactate that would serve as cut-off for contraindication of lactate buffer is so far unclear. An acute exogenous load of lactate does not affect the basal endogenous lactate production and metabolism. It is also well metabolized in patients suffering from acute renal failure and severe sepsis with a compromised haemodynamic status. We report a case of extreme lactic acidosis in a p...

BACKGROUND Despite of numerous evidences that elevated serum lactate levels were associated with unfavorable outcomes, there have been no study demonstrated an optimal cutoff of serum lactate in unselected patients. This study was aimed to evaluate the prognostic property of lactate, and to identify a cutoff of serum lactate level for predicting 30-day in-hospital mortality among unselected pat...

The blood lactate level has been used as an indicator of the ability to perform endurance exercise in clinical practice (1). Moreover, during high intensity exercise, lactate production is higher than its removal from the body. Therefore, the lactate threshold (LT) level is an excellent indicator for predicting endurance capacity (1). Individuals with a high LT level have delayed onset of muscl...

Background. Recovery or post-exercise rehabilitation is an essential part of exercise training. Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a modality increasing interest for recovery because of having a conservative and non-aggressive method. LLLT also decreases the production of fatigue-related biomechanical markers, such as lactate, C-reactive protein (CRP), and Creatine kinase (CK). Objectives. To i...

Blood lactate concentrations reflect the balance between lactate production and clearance. During glycolysis in resting state, most glucose is converted to pyruvate. Pyruvate is metabolized through the aerobic pathway, to acetyl-CoA by pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) to enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle that is the main source of energy for cellular metabolism. In times of stress, tissue oxygen (...

background tracking various biomarkers in serum, gingival crevicular fluid (gcf), and saliva has been introduced as a diagnostic tool for periodontal disease detection. objectives the aim of this study was to compare salivary lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) levels in subjects with periodontal disease and levels in subjects without periodontal disease. conclusions salivary ldh levels can be used as ...

J. Equine Sci. Vol. 18, No. 1 pp. 5–11, 2007 The following items were investigated to measure blood lactate in horses under field conditions using portable lactate analyzers recently developed for human athletes. 1) The precision of two types of portable lactate analyzer and the standard analyzer using the immobilized enzyme method, and correlation among the lactate concentrations measured by t...

Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level was estimated in 44 childhood (age range 1-15 years) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on admission, day 14 and day 29 of induction. Another 25 children without ALL were included as control. On admission, the level of serum LDH was significantly high in ALL cases than control (p < 0.001). Total WBC count was significantly decreased along with serum LDH l...
