Patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) had decreased quality of life (QOL) and worse fatigue that could be linked to lactate dehydrogenase levels. Researchers found that levels of ...

Higher levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) at baseline were independently linked to an increased risk for heart failure (HF) events or cardiovascular death in patients with HF with reduced ejection ...

The purpose of this report is to present the findings in a group of 20 patients with pulmonary insufficiency, all but 2 of whom had arterial oxygen tensions below 50 mm. of mercury. The 20 subjects ...

Scientists have developed a prototype sensor that could help doctors rapidly measure adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and lactate levels in blood samples from patients, aiding in the rapid assessment of ...

Serum lactate levels of more than 4 mmol/L on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) were associated with an increased rate of 60-day mortality in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) receiving ...

Elevated white blood cell counts also appear to correlate with shorter overall survival in patients receiving standard induction chemotherapy plus cytarabine for acute myeloid leukemia. High serum ...

Lactate clearance can be used to predict survival in patients with cardiogenic shock and aid in management decisions, and experts are calling for establishing lactate clearance as a standardized, ...

Plus, how to ride faster for longer without fatiguing.

When George Brooks first began investigating lactate, or lactic acid, sports physiologists saw it as a muscle poison that lowered performance. His research over decades has reversed that picture, ...

Scientists at Tohoku University have discovered the critical role that lactate plays in helping neural stem cells develop into specialized neurons, a process dubbed neuronal differentiation. They also ...
