Quantitative Assessment of Blood Lactate in Shock: Measure of Hypoxia or Beneficial Energy Source
Figure 6
Diagrammatic representation of experimental measurements of Van Hall et al. The arm and leg unidirectional lactate (black arrows) and glucose (red arrows) fluxes (in units of mmole/min/70 kg) at rest (a) and during moderate arm and leg exercise (b) followed by exhaustive arm exercise (c) are indicated. Also shown are the whole-body lactate turnover (black) and glucose (red) turnover. The corresponding arterial blood lactate (black) and glucose (red) concentrations are also indicated. The arm fluxes and whole-body turnover are shown in the top panels and the leg fluxes in the bottom panels. The time intervals separating the three experimental exercise states are also shown.
