Filter by:Physical exercise induces numerous changes in the body in a complex signalling network caused by or in response to increased metabolic activity of contracting skeletal muscles. The application of omics analytical techniques such as proteomics and metabolomics in the field of sport allows us to understand how the human body responds to exercise and how sports results can be improved by optimising nutrition and training. Both omics techniques offer a quantitative measurement of the metabolic profiles associated with exercise and are able to identify metabolic signatures of athletes from different sports disciplines. Basketball is a high-intensity exercise modality interspersed with low-intensity. The performance requirements of basketball include aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, with anaerobic metabolism being considered the main energy system. Therefore, basketball players need great athletic ability to produce a successful performance during competition. For optimal sports performance it is important to adjust the training load, i.e. the degree of effort that the player can withstand in a single training session. Coaches require effective and objective load monitoring tools that allow them to make decisions about training plans based on the needs of each player. Microsampling systems emerge as an alternative to venipuncture by facilitating self-sampling, which can be carried out outside healthcare centres, in a comfortable and precise way from a small finger prick that the user can perform. These systems are less expensive and can be effective in measuring the levels of glucose metabolism products, such as lactate, through the application of metabolomics and proteomics. On the other hand, the use of non-invasive methods of measuring lactate levels is becoming increasingly popular in sports medicine. The use of saliva as an alternative fluid to the blood shows promise for identifying the concentrations of metabolites that occur during and after sports training.
Investigating lactate metabolism in critically ill patients whom are hypoperfused by preforming metabolomics via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Intra-abdominal infection is one of the most serious complications after pancreatic resection. The preventive use of antibiotics intraoperatively could reduce the incidence rate of postoperative intra-abdominal infection. According to the previous retrospective study, changes of serum lactate level on postoperative day1 could predict the incidence rate of postoperative intra-abdominal infection. This prospective RCT is to further validate and promote the findings and conclusion.
There is no clear consensus on the use of pneumonia severity index (PSI) developed for community-acquired pneumonia in hospital-acquired pneumonia cases. In another aspect, PSI is a relatively difficult scoring system that includes many parameters. This study evaluated whether lactate clearance could be used as a mortality marker instead of PSI in hospital-acquired pneumonia. As a result, lactate clearance was lower in the mortal group and when the diagnostic statistics were evaluated, it was seen that the sensitivity and specificity rates were significantly higher. In conclusion, lactate clearance has been evaluated as a strong predictor of mortality in hospital-acquired pneumonia.
Lactate may have anti-lipolytic effects when plasma concentrations of lactate reach levels similar to those seen during high intensity exercise. This study aims to investigate how lactate concentrations similar to those achieved during high intensity exercise affects lipolysis in humans. In addition to this, to investigate how increased lactate concentrations affects glucose- and amino acid metabolism. 8 healthy males will be included. Study participants will undergo two separate investigation days that will be identical except for the interventions: 1. Intravenous sodium D/L-lactate 2. Intravenous sodium chloride. The study consists of a 3-hour basal period followed by a 3-hour hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. During the study we will: - Estimate insulin sensitivity during the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp (M value) - Use tracer kinetics to estimate lipid-, glucose and amino acid metabolism using [9,10-3H]-palmitate, [3-3H]-glucose, [15N]-phenylalanine, [15N]-tyrosine, [2H4]-tyrosine and [13C]-Urea. - Do muscle- and adipose tissue biopsies for analyses of signaling pathways involved in regulation of lipid-, glucose and amino acid metabolism. - Do blood samples of relevant hormones, metabolites and cytokines. - Use indirect calorimetry to estimate study participants' resting energy expenditure and respiratory quotient during the basal period. - Estimate cardiac ejection fraction by echocardiography and measure blood pressure during both the basal- and clamp period.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of the level of metabolites used in routine on mortality and morbidity in patients who will undergo intracranial surgery with craniotomy.
Lactate is formed naturally in the body in example during physical activity. However, lactate is also formed during food fermentation where certain bacterial strains form lactate. Lactate can also be produced chemically. An example of this is Ringer-lactate which is used for volume replacement when treating dehydrated patients. As a source of carbon-molecules, lactate is believed to be an important oxidative fuel source in all major organs and yields adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production through Krebs cycle, the Electron Transport Chain in the mitochondria as well as by being a key precursor for gluconeogenesis. Metformin is the first drug of choice for type 2 diabetes treatment. Use of metformin often results in a small but significant weight loss in overweight users. It is known that metformin increases the lactate concentration in the gut. It is also known also know that metformin use is associated with an increase in blood concentrations of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15). Receptors for GDF-15 can be found in parts of the brain associated with control of appetite. In rats increases in [GDF-15] results in a decrease in appetite and thus weight loss. GDF-15 is thought to be involved in the normal energy homeostasis. With this study the investigators want to examine the hormonal, metabolic and mechanical effects of lactate in the gut in healthy volunteers. Our hypothesis is that lactate has beneficial effects which may be though an increase in GDF-15 in the blood. Volunteers will undergo two study days separated by at least 7 days and a maximum of 1 month. - On day one volunteers will drink a sodium-lactate solution (intervention). The investigators will also administrate 1500mg paracetamol to assess gastric emptying and do blood samples over 4 hours. The investigators measure [lactate] every 15 min. Every hour the investigators will ask volunteers questions regarding hunger and thoughts of future food intake (questionnaire). After 4 hours of blood sampling the investigators will serve volunteers an all-you-can-eat meal of sandwich and measure how must they ate. - On day two volunteers will drink a sodium chloride solution. Furthermore, the investigators administrate intravenous D/L sodium lactate in order to reach the same plasma [lactate] on day 2 as was done on day 1. The rest of day two is identical to day 1.
Lactate is a compound produced as a by-product of glycolysis. The increase in lactate concentration can result from a variety of causes, such as during anaerobic metabolism in exercise or haemodynamic shock in conditions such as sepsis. The study will aim to validate a novel microneedle-based minimally invasive device for the continuous measurement of lactate during exercise.
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of serum values of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate to predict postoperative complications in the early postoperative period after open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Tissue hypoperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) affects cardiac surgical outcomes. Lactate, an end product of anaerobic glycolysis from oxygen deficit, is an obtainable marker of tissue hypoxia. The investigators aimed to determine the value of blood lactate level during CPB in adult cardiac surgeries in predicting outcomes. The investigators retrospectively reviewed the patients underwent cardiac surgeries with CPB from January 2015 to December 2015. The patient's characteristics, pre-operative status, surgical type, and intra-operative lactate levels were collected. The outcomes were in-hospital mortality and complications. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were used to assess the ability of peak lactate level during CPB to predict in-hospital mortality.
