Lactic acidosis is commonly found in people who are unwell, such as those with severe heart and/or lung disease, a severe infection with sepsis, the systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to another cause, severe physical trauma, or severe depletion of body fluids. [3]
It was once believed that lactic acid build-up was the cause of muscle fatigue. [8] The assumption was lactic acid had a "pickling" effect on muscles, inhibiting their ability to contract. Though the impact of lactic acid on performance is now uncertain, it may assist or hinder muscle fatigue.

Obdormition (/ ˌ ɒ b d ɔːr ˈ m ɪ ʃ ən /; from Latin obdormire "to fall asleep") is a medical term describing temporary numbness in a limb, often caused by constant pressure on nerves or lack of movement. [1] This is colloquially referred to as the limb "going to sleep" and is usually followed by paresthesia, colloquially called "pins ...
Muscles are producing lactate even at rest, with resting blood lactate levels in the 1–2 mmol/L range. [6] Although the lactate threshold is defined as the point when lactic acid starts to accumulate, some testers approximate this by crossing the lactate threshold and using the point at which lactate reaches a concentration of 4 mmol/ L of ...
Livedo reticularis is a common skin finding consisting of a mottled reticulated vascular pattern that appears as a lace-like purplish discoloration of the skin. [1] The discoloration is caused by reduction in blood flow through the arterioles that supply the cutaneous capillaries, resulting in deoxygenated blood showing as blue discoloration ().
UNSPOTTED 4X® Acid Jelly Night Serum. The "4X" in this serum's name is thanks to the 15 percent blend of lactic, azelaic, glycolic, and tranexamic acids, which together help reduce the appearance ...
Cori cycle. The Cori cycle (also known as the lactic acid cycle), named after its discoverers, Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Cori, [1] is a metabolic pathway in which lactate, produced by anaerobic glycolysis in muscles, is transported to the liver and converted to glucose, which then returns to the muscles and is cyclically metabolized back to lactate.
