D-Lactate and its related metabolic intermediates: Potential biomarkers for diabetic vascular complications
(2019-08-26)Micro- and macrovascular diseases are the main causes of mortality and morbidity among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2). Routine surveillance for vascular complications in these individuals is important to ... -
D-lactic acid metabolism and control of acidosis
(2009)D-lactic acidosis (DLA) is a disease associated with D-lactatemia, acidosis and neurological signs. However, these associations are ill-defined. Bacterial fermentation in the intestine causes increasing D-lactic acid ... -
D-Lactic acidosis : Studies in neonatal diarrhea and effects of processing and storage on lactate concentrations in blood
(2012-05-24)D-lactate is a significant contributor to acidosis in diarrheic calves. To ensure an accurate measure of D- and L- lactate, this study investigated storage dependent changes in D- and L-lactate concentrations in plasma ... -
