Production of Lactic Acid in Heavy Exercise and Acid-Base Balance

  • Conference paper
Lactate

Abstract

It is important to realise that the substance produced in anaerobic glycolysis is, as far as stoichiometry is concerned, lactic acid, which dissociates into equimolar amounts of H+ and lactate:

$$ \left. \begin{gathered} \mathop {1/2C_6 H_{10} O_5 + 1/2H_2 O}\limits_{glycogen\;monomer} \hfill \\ \mathop {1/2C_6 H_{12} O_6 }\limits_{gluocose} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right\} \to \mathop {CH_3 CHOHCOOH \to CH_3 CHOHCOO^ - + H^ + }\limits_{lactic\;acid lactate} $$
