Sodium lactate is a type of sodium salt of lactic acid. It is produced through fermentation and is used as a preservative.
After the completion of oxidation of lactate, 2 ATP molecules are produced. Lactate is then sent to the liver to be turned back into glycolysis.
lactate
Lactate is produced in this way. It is a product of the NADH fermentation.
Lactate accumulates because of the lack of available oxygen in the muscles. In anaerobic conditions, the pyruvate produced by glycolysis is reduced to lactate via lactate dehydrogenase (while also oxidizing a single molecule of NADH to regenerate NAD+). NAD+ is a very important molecule and must readily be available in the cytoplasm in order for glycolysis to proceed.
Lactate threshold is caused when lactate production exceeds lactate clearance during exercise or increasing intensity.
lactate dehydrogenase
Lactic acid (also called lactate).The product of glycolysis in the cytoplasm is pyruvic acid (= pyruvate). If there is not enough oxygen for the mitochondria to oxidize the pyruvic acid, the enzyme lactic acid (or lactate) dehydrogenase, which is in the cytoplasm, reduces the pyruvic acid to lactic acid.
It doesn't break down glucose per se. It breaks down the pyruvate produced from glycolysis into lactate. Only the liver has the ability to convert lactate back to pyruvate.
not enough ATP is produced for our bodies to function
Correct answer: I, II, III and IV
By writing "L-lactate" you basically answered your own question, yes, it is. It is the "left oriented" lactate :)
