We are pleased to introduce this article, written in English by K Tolfrey and N Armstrong, and which aims to evaluate whether fixed blood lactate reference values of 2.5 and 4.0 mmol 1-’ corresponded to the equivalent intensity of exercise in prepubertal and teenage boys, and men. The abstract of this article is available at […]

Lactate Concentrations After A Marathon In Relation To The Years Of Training And The Best Mark
This article, written in Spanish by Alvero et al., is based in a study on the lactic acid levels done in 33 marathon runners of different performances at the end of the race. The abstract of this article is available at https://www.laktate.com/informacion/lactato-en-el-deporte/concentraciones-de-lactato-tras-una-maraton-en-relacion-con-los-anos-de-entrenamiento-y-la-mejor-marca/, where you will also find a link to access the original article, written […]
Prognostic Value Of Lactate Clearance In The First 6 Hours Of Intensive Medicine Course
The aim of this article, written in Spanish by Cardinal Fernández et al., is to analyze the clinical usefulness of lactate clearance immediate after admission to the intensiva care unit in the first 6 hours. You can find the abstract of this article in the Information section at https://www.laktate.com/en/information/lactate-in-clinical-practice/prognostic-value-of-lactate-clearance-in-the-first-6-hours-of-intensive-medicine-course/, where we also offer a link […]
Determination Of Blood Lactate Concentration: Reliability And Validity Of A Lactate Oxidase-Based Method
We are pleased to introduce this article, written in English by White et al., where the authors assess the reliability and validity of the method based in lactate oxidase for lactate determination. The authors compare this method to two other methods which can all provide useful within-subject lactate curves, although White et al. caution against […]
Intracellular Shuttle: The Lactate Aerobic Metabolism
This article, written in English by Santos de Oliveira Cruz et al., speaks of a new hypothesis based on the fact that the lactate to pyruvate conversión can’t occur in the cytosol as tradicionally believed. The hypothesis of the intracelular lactate shuttle states that the lactate first enters in mitochondria and only then is metabolized. […]
