(8) Isolated urinary bladder strips were prepared from bladder base and body and the following metabolic determinations were made: glucose utilization, glycogen formation, CO2, and lactic acid formation.
(9) Preretinal pulsatile pressure juxtaarteriolar microinjections of neutral-pH solution of L-lactic acid also induced a segmental retinal arteriolar dilation.
(10) They analysed vascular resistance on the foetal side of the placenta, glucose consumption, production of lactic acid and pyruvic acid.
(11) Since hypoglycemia was associated with acidosis, the severe lactic acidosis in our patient may have been due to an overproduction of lactic acid as well as to an impaired hepatic gluconeogenesis in the presence of leukemic cells.
(12) Rumen pH decrease to below 5.0 in S2-, lasalocid-, and monensin-treated cattle was not due to lactic acid, but to increased production of volatile fatty acids.
(13) An autopsy case of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is reported.

(15) Ventilation (VE) and arterial pH were measured at rest and during exercise before and after infusions of lactic acid (70 meq), HCl (26 meq), NaHCO3 (45 and 90 meq), or normal saline alone (250 ml).
(16) Central nervous system (CNS) cultured neurons while exposed to different concentrations and pH of L-lactic acid exhibited in general chromatin clumping, vacuolization in the cytoplasm, appearance of lipid bodies, accumulation of polyribosomes, cytoplasmic lucency and swollen and aggregation of mitochondria.
