Quantitative Assessment of Blood Lactate in Shock: Measure of Hypoxia or Beneficial Energy Source

Figure 5

Measurements by Ahlborg et al. of the leg, forearm, and net splanchnic lactate (black) and glucose (red) fluxes and blood concentrations at rest and at 90 and 180 minutes of moderate bicycle exercise and after a 20-minute recovery. The fluxes are in units of mmole/min.
