  Lactic acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lactate is constantly produced during normal metabolism and exercise but does not increase in concentration until the rate of lactate production exceeds the rate of lactate removal.
The increased lactate produced can be removed in a number of ways including: oxidation to pyruvate by well-oxygenated muscle cells which is then directly used to fuel the citric acid cycle and conversion to glucose via the Cori cycle in the liver through the process of gluconeogenesis.
This is because lactate itself is not capable of releasing a proton, and secondly, the acidic form of lactate (lactic acid) cannot be formed under normal circumstances in human tissues.

 Lactate dehydrogenase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme (EC 1.1.1.27) present in a wide variety of organisms, including plants and animals.
The enzyme is also found in cerebrospinal fluid where high levels of lactate dehydrogenase in cerebrospinal fluid are often associated with bacterial meningitis.
High levels of the enzyme can also be found in cases of viral meningitis, generally indicating the presence of encephalitis and poor prognosis.

 Lactate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Lactate is a 3 carbon intermediary of carbohydrate metabolism which is formed from pyruvate by the reversible action of lactate dehydrogenase.
The Cori cycle refers to the pathway whereby glycolysis in the muscle produces lactate, which is released into the bloodstream, transported to the liver and converted back to glucose for re-use in the muscle.
The lactate is rapidly cleared once the muscular activity ceases both by renal and hepatic clearance and by aerobic metabolism in the muscles.

Title: Markedly elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase levels are a clue to the diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis in patients with AIDS.
We therefore evaluated whether markedly increased LDH levels were useful for making a diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis by comparing admission LDH levels for 15 patients with culture-proven disseminated histoplasmosis with those for 30 patients with advanced AIDS who were admitted to the hospital for evaluation of pulmonary infiltrates and fever.
We conclude that markedly elevated admission LDH levels may be a clinical clue to the diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis in patients with AIDS.

 Lactate Dehydrogenase Test | Principal Health News
Lactate dehydrogenase, also called lactic dehydrogenase, or LDH, is an enzyme found in the cells of many body tissues, including the heart, liver, kidneys, skeletal muscle, brain, red blood cells, and lungs.
It is responsible for converting muscle lactic acid into pyruvic acid, an essential step in producing cellular energy.
Lactic dehydrogenase is present in almost all body tissues, so the LDH test is used to detect tissue alterations and as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack, anemia, and liver disease.

 Purification of NAD Lactate Dehydrogenase   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a metabolic enzyme distributed widely in nature.
Skeletal muscles are often anaerobic, and so the M form efficiently catalyzes the production of lactate from pyruvate (lactate fermentation, which regenerates NAD).
If the only substrates added to the reaction are NAD and lactate (or NADH and pyruvate), the change in absorbance at 340 nm should be proportional to the change in NADH concentration due to the LDH activity present in the cuvette.
