Lactic Acid is a chemical compound that plays a role in several biochemical processes.
Also known as milk acid, is a chemical compound that plays a role in several biochemical processes.
In animals, L-lactate is constantly produced from pyruvate via the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in a process of fermentation during normal metabolism and exercise. It does not increase in concentration until the rate of lactate production exceeds the rate of lactate removal which is governed by a number of factors including: Monocarboxylate transporters,
