What organs are capable of turning lactate in glucose?
The conversion of lactate to glucose (see gluconeogenesis ) takes place almost exclusively in the liver, but lactate can be metabolized by the kidney and nervous tissue as well.
What is the relation between lactate threshold and ventilatory threshold?
They both are reached are approx the same time, it is thought to be that the large change (drop) in blood pH when the lactate threshold is reached is causes ventilation to increase rapidly to try and counteract this blood pH change. The lactate threshold itself is just the point at which lactate removal can no longer keep up with lactate production.
Is Sodium lactate agar selective?
yes, it selects for microbes that can grow in a sodium environment and ferment lactate
