Abstract
We wanted to determine the influence of total blood volume (BV) and blood lactate quantity on lactate concentrations during incremental exercise. Twenty-six healthy, nonsmoking, heterogeneously trained females (27.5 ± 5.9 ys) performed an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycle ergometer during which maximum oxygen uptake (V·O2max), lactate concentrations ([La-]) and hemoglobin concentrations ([Hb]) were determined. Hemoglobin mass and blood volume (BV) were determined using an optimised carbon monoxide-rebreathing method. V·O2max and maximum power (Pmax) ranged between 32 and 62 mL·min-1·kg-1 and 2.3 and 5.5 W·kg-1, respectively. BV ranged between 81 and 121 mL·kg-1 of lean body mass and decreased by 280 ± 115 mL (5.7%, p = 0.001) until Pmax. At Pmax, the [La-] was significantly correlated to the systemic lactate quantity (La-, r = 0.84, p < 0.0001) but also significantly negatively correlated to the BV (r = -0.44, p < 0.05). We calculated that the exercise-induced BV shifts significantly reduced the lactate transport capacity by 10.8% (p < 0.0001). Our results demonstrate that both the total BV and La- have a major influence on the resulting [La-] during dynamic exercise. Moreover, the blood La- transport capacity might be significantly reduced by the shift in plasma volume. We conclude, that the total BV might be another relevant factor in the interpretation of [La-] during a cardio-pulmonary exercise test.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sepsis and septic shock cause significant mortality worldwide, with no targeted molecular therapies available. Metformin has pleomorphic effects that may be beneficial in sepsis, but at present, the impact of metformin exposure on sepsis remains controversial. Metformin might alter lactate metabolism, but little is known about its influence on lactate kinetics. We therefore investigated the impact of preadmission metformin use on lactate kinetics, acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality in sepsis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed all ICU admissions with sepsis and septic shock between January 2013 and September 2020, identifying 77 users and 390 nonusers (subdivided in diabetics, n = 48 and nondiabetics, n = 342). RESULTS (Sub)groups did not differ in illness severity or sepsis aetiology. Admission lactate levels were similar, but evolution in lactate over the first 24 h showed a larger decrease in users vs nonusers (median - 53% vs. -36%, p = .010). No difference in AKI or renal replacement therapy was found. Mortality was lower in users vs nonusers in case of septic shock (21.9% (n = 7) vs. 42.7% (n = 61) for 90d mortality, p = .029, OR 0.38 [95% CI: 0.15-0.93]), but showed no significant differences in the combined sepsis and septic shock population. CONCLUSIONS In our data, preadmission metformin use is associated with a significantly larger decrease in lactate after admission with sepsis or septic shock and with reduced mortality in septic shock. This underscores the need for further studies investigating the interplay between metformin, lactate and sepsis, thereby exploring the potential use of metformin or its pathways in sepsis.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to measure blood flow changes in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), using Doppler ultrasound, in post-cardiac surgery patients, to evaluate the correlation between the SMA resistance index (SMA-RI) and lactate concentrations. Methods: The patients' basic hemodynamics, blood gas parameters and lactate concentration were collected at admission. Simultaneously, the SMA blood flow parameters were collected using Doppler ultrasound with the patients in the supine position. The lactate concentrations were measured again at 2, 6, and 12-h time points after the first test. The length of intensive care unit stays and prognoses continued to be monitored. Results: A total of 67 patients were included. The SMA-RI correlated with the admission (r = 0.3117, P = 0.0102), 2-h (r = 0.5091, P < 0.0001), 6-h (r = 0.5061, P < 0.0001), and 12-h (r = 0.2483, P = 0.0428) lactate concentrations. The SMA-RI could predict the 2-h 10% [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.8294, P < 0.0001] and 6-h 40% lactate kinetics (AUC = 0.7708, P = 0.0012). The cut-off value was 0.83. When the SMA-RI was <0.83, the specificity and sensitivity were 86.38 and 75.56%, respectively for the prediction of the 2-h >10% lactate kinetics, and 64.71 and 75.00%, respectively, for the prediction of the 6-h >40% lactate kinetics. The lactate concentrations at admission, 2 and 6-h points were higher in the high-RI group (RI ≥ 0.83) and the intensive care unit stays were significantly longer than in the low-RI group (P = 0.0005). Conclusions: The increase in SMA-RI was associated with higher lactate concentrations and worse lactate kinetics in post-cardiac surgery patients. This may be related to intestinal hypoperfusion. The SMA-RI may be one of the indicators that should be monitored to guide resuscitation in these patients.

Abstract
Background: While ECLS is a highly invasive procedure, the identification of patients with a potentially good prognosis is of high importance. The aim of this study was to analyse changes in the acid-base balance parameters and lactate kinetics during the early stages of ECLS rewarming to determine predictors of clinical outcome. Methods: This single-centre retrospective study was conducted at the Severe Hypothermia Treatment Centre at John Paul II Hospital in Krakow, Poland. Patients ≥18 years old who had a core temperature (Tc) < 30 °C and were rewarmed with ECLS between December 2013 and August 2018 were included. Acid-base balance parameters were measured at ECLS implantation, at Tc 30 °C, and at 2 and 4 h after Tc 30 °C. The alteration in blood lactate kinetics was calculated as the percent change in serum lactate concentration relative to the baseline. Results: We included 50 patients, of which 36 (72%) were in cardiac arrest. The mean age was 56 ± 15 years old, and the mean Tc was 24.5 ± 12.6 °C. Twenty-one patients (42%) died. Lactate concentrations in the survivors group were significantly lower than in the non-survivors at all time points. In the survivors group, the mean lactate concentration decreased −2.42 ± 4.49 mmol/L from time of ECLS implantation until 4 h after reaching Tc 30 °C, while in the non-survivors’ group (p = 0.024), it increased 1.44 ± 6.41 mmol/L. Conclusions: Our results indicate that high lactate concentration is associated with a poor prognosis for hypothermic patients undergoing ECLS rewarming. A decreased value of lactate kinetics at 4 h after reaching 30 °C is also associated with a poor prognosis.

Abstract
The accumulation of lactate in muscle and blood during high-intensity exercise is negatively correlated with the duration exercise can be sustained. Removal of lactate is a key component of acute recovery between consecutive bouts of such exercise. Low-intensity exercise enhances recovery by accelerating lactate turnover in metabolically active tissues, largely mediated by blood flow to these tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to clarify if L-citrulline, a nutritional supplement purported to promote vasodilation via enhanced nitric oxide availability, would augment the removal of blood lactate during active recovery (AR). L-citrulline ingestion will augment the rate of blood lactate concentration decrease during AR, reduce the oxygen-cost of submaximal exercise, and increase time-to-exhaustion and peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak) during a test of maximal aerobic power. Healthy university students (five males & five females) participated in this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. Participants exercised on a cycle ergometer at submaximal steady-state intensities followed by progressively increasing intensity to exhaustion, 10 min of AR, and then supramaximal intensity exercise to exhaustion. Oxygen uptake was measured throughout the trial and blood lactate was sampled repeatedly during AR. The protocol elicited very high peak blood lactate concentrations after exercise (11.3 + 1.3 mmol/L). L-citrulline supplementation did not significantly alter blood lactate kinetics during AR, the oxygen cost of exercise, V̇O2peak, or time-to-exhaustion. Despite a strong theoretical basis by which L-citrulline could augment lactate removal from the blood, L-citrulline supplementation showed no effect as an exercise-recovery supplement.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate association of static and dynamic lactate indices with early mortality (within 48 hours of admission), as well as need for vasopressors and mechanical ventilation in pediatric severe sepsis/shock. To explore optimal cutoffs of lactate indices. We hypothesized that dynamic indices are superior to static indices in predicting early mortality. METHODS This prospective cohort study involved children (aged <14 years) admitted in emergency department, tertiary care teaching hospital in North India with severe sepsis/shock (2015-2016). Arterial lactate was measured at admission (X0) and after 6 hours (X6). Primary outcome of the measurement was early mortality. Association between lactate indices- lactate at 0 hours (Lac0), lactate after 6 hours (Lac6), time-weighted average (LacTW), delta (ΔLac), clearance (LacCl%) and early mortality, need for vasopressors, and mechanical ventilation-was assessed using Student t test/Mann-Whitney test. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for early mortality deduced for all lactate indices and compared with reference (Lac0). Optimal cutoffs (maximizing both sensitivity and specificity) and their positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were determined. RESULTS During the study period, 116 children were assessed. Septic shock was present at admission in 56.9% children; 50% of children died during the next 48 hours. Lac0, Lac6, and LacTW were significantly higher, and LacCl% was lower in nonsurvivors versus survivors (all P < .001). Lac6 (0.837 [0.76-0.91]) had significantly higher AUROC (95% confidence interval) than Lac0 (0.77; P = .03). Abnormal lactate metrics (higher Lac0, Lac6, LacTW, and lower LacCl%) were associated with vasopressors need and mechanical ventilation. On logistic regression, Lac6 emerged as an independent predictor of early mortality as well as vasopressor and mechanical ventilation need. The optimal cutoff of Lac6 for identifying early mortality with good sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV was ≥2.65 (76, 85, 83, 78). CONCLUSIONS Lactate6 is the best marker associated with early mortality and higher level of care in severe sepsis/septic shock in resource-poor regions.

Abstract
Objective: Blood lactate concentration (L) and lactate kinetic (LK) over time might be a helpful marker of the shock severity. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the L and LK could correlate with the outcome and the therapy of patients with different types of shock.Methods: Design: A 3.5-year retrospective observational study. Patients: Eighteen years of age or older, diagnosed with shock were included. Arterial L measurements were performed upon admission and approximatively 3 and 6 h later. The evolution of lactate over this period of time was correlated with the outcome and therapy. Interventions: Univariate and multivariable statistical tests were performed to examine the relation between the initial L/LK and the in-hospital mortality, total mortality, length of stay (LOS), the LOS at the intensive care unit and the administered therapy. The optimal cut-off point of the LK over time to predict the mortality was calculated.Results: The initial L and the 6 h LK were significantly associated with the outcome. The higher the initial L and lower the LK, the higher the risk of mortality in the hospital or within 6 months. Moreover, the higher the initial L and lower the 6 h LK, the longer was the LOS. A relation between the initial L/LK and the required therapy was found. The optimal cut-off for the 6-h LK is 38.1%. Patients with a 6 h LK >38.1% had a significantly higher chance of survival.Conclusions: A significant relationship between the L/6-h LK and the outcome and treatment was found. The optimal survival cut-off point of 6 h LK in our study was 38.1%.

Abstract
The response of blood lactate concentration (BLC) to exercise is a commonly used approach to set training intensities and to determine the anaerobic threshold, which are important in evaluation of endurance exercise performance. The maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) is defined as the highest workload or BLC that can be maintained without continual lactate accumulation over time. The aim of this study was to investigate MLSS in the cross-country skiing sub-technique double poling and to assess the validity of a fixed blood lactate threshold (OBLA and the 45° tangent of the lactate curve). Eight well-trained cross-country skiers (age = 27.6±8.8 years [mean±SD], body mass = 73.9±6.2 kg, height = 179.3±7.0 cm) performed an incremental test to determine OBLA and Individual Anaerobic Threshold (IAnT) and several constant workload tests of 30 min to determine the MLSS. Lactate concentration at MLSS in double poling was 6.7±1.3 mmol ·L-1 which was significantly higher compared to OBLA (p<0.001) and IAnT (p<0.01). Despite significant correlations in velocities between MLSS-IAnT and MLSS-OBLA (r=0.95/0.95, p<0.001), significant (p<0.01) differences between MLSS (21.4±2.8 km ·h-1) versus IAnT (20.6±3.6 km ·h-1) and OBLA (19.9±3.0 km ·h-1) was observed. It was concluded that both OBLA and IAnT underestimate MLSS in double poling. A fixed value of 7 mmol ·L-1 would be more appropriate in lactate testing of cross-country skiers using the double poling technique, yet dissuaded because of intra-individual variations. Direct determination of MLSS is the recommended approach for useful exercise thresholds, important for training interventions in elite cross-country skiers.

Abstract
PURPOSE Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a recovery strategy whose use has increased in recent years owing to the benefits observed in the clinical setting in some cardiovascular diseases (ie, improvement of cardiovascular function). However, its claimed effectiveness for the enhancement of exercise recovery has not been analyzed in athletes. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of EECP on short-term recovery after a fatiguing exercise bout. METHODS Twelve elite junior triathletes (16 [2] y) participated in this crossover counterbalanced study. After a high-intensity interval training session (6 bouts of 3-min duration at maximal intensity interspersed with 3-min rest periods), participants were assigned to recover during 30 min with EECP (80 mm Hg) or sham (0 mm Hg). Measures of recovery included performance (jump height and mean power during an 8-min time trial), metabolic (blood lactate concentration at several time points), autonomic (heart-rate variability at several time points), and subjective (rating of perceived exertion [RPE] and readiness to compete) outcomes. RESULTS There were no differences between EECP and sham in mean RPE or power output during the high-intensity interval training session, which elicited a significant performance impairment, vagal withdrawal, and increased blood lactate and RPE in both EECP and sham conditions (all P < .05). No significant differences were found in performance, metabolic, or subjective outcomes between conditions at any time point. A significantly lower high-frequency power (P < .05, effect size = 1.06), a marker of parasympathetic activity, was observed with EECP at the end of the recovery phase. CONCLUSION EECP did not enhance short-term recovery after a high-intensity interval training session in healthy, highly trained individuals.

Abstract
During a continuously increasing exercise workload (WL) a point will be reached at which arterial lactate accumulates rapidly. This so-called lactate threshold (LT) is associated with the maximal lactate steady state workload (MLSSW), the highest WL, at which arterial lactate concentration [LA] does not change. However, the physiological range in which the LT and the MLSSW occur has not been demonstrated directly. We used minor WL variations in the MLSSW range to assess arterial lactate kinetics in 278 treadmill and 148 bicycle ergometer exercise tests. At a certain workload, minimal further increment of running speed (0.1-0.15 m/s) or cycling power (7-10 W) caused a steep elevation of [LA] (0.9 ± 0.43 mM, maximum increase 2.4 mM), indicating LT achievement. This sharp [LA] increase was more pronounced when higher WL increments were used (0.1 vs. 0.30 m/s, P = 0.02; 0.15 vs. 0.30 m/s, P < 0.001; 7 vs. 15 W, P = 0.002; 10 vs. 15 W, P = 0.001). A subsequent workload reduction (0.1 m/s/7 W) stopped the [LA] increase indicating MLSSW realization. LT based determination of running speed (MLSSW) was highly reproducible on a day-to-day basis (r = 0.996, P < 0.001), valid in a 10 km constant velocity setting (r = 0.981, P < 0.001) and a half marathon race (r = 0.969, P < 0.001). These results demonstrate a fine-tuned regulation of exercise-related lactate metabolism, which can be reliably captured by assessing lactate kinetics at the MLSSW.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test if the lactate exchange (γ1) and removal (γ2) abilities during recovery following short all-out supramaximal exercise correlate with the muscle content of MCT1 and MCT4, the two isoforms of the monocarboxylate transporters family involved in lactate and H+ co-transport in skeletal muscle. Eighteen lightweight rowers completed a 3-min all-out exercise on rowing ergometer. Blood lactate samples were collected during the subsequent passive recovery to assess an individual blood lactate curve (IBLC). IBLC were fitted to the bi-exponential time function: La(t) = [La](0) + A1(1 − e-γ1t) + A2(1 − e-γ2t) where [La](0) is the blood lactate concentration at exercise completion and the velocity constants γ1 and γ2 denote the lactate exchange and removal abilities, respectively. An application of the bi-compartmental model of lactate distribution space allowed estimation of the lactate removal rate at exercise completion [LRR(0)]. Biopsy of the right vastus lateralis was taken at rest to measure muscle MCT1 and MCT4 content. Fiber type distribution, activity of key enzymes and capillary density (CD) were also assessed. γ1 was correlated with [La](0) (r = −0.54, P < 0.05) but not with MCT1, MCT4 or CD. γ2 and LRR(0) were correlated with MCT4 (r = 0.63, P < 0.01 and r = 0.73, P < 0.001, respectively) but not with MCT1 or cytochrome c oxidase activity. These findings suggest that the lactate exchange ability is highly dependent on the milieu so that the importance of the muscle MCT1 and MCT4 content in γ1 was hidden in the present study. Our results also suggest that during recovery following all-out supramaximal exercise in well-trained rowers, MCT4 might play a significant role in the distribution and delivery of lactate for its subsequent removal.

Abstract
To examine the influence of aerobic and anaerobic indices on repeated sprint (RS) performance and ability (RSA), 8 sprinters (SPR), 8 endurance runners (END), and 8 active participants (ACT) performed the following tests: (i) incremental test; (ii) 1-min test to determine first decay time constant of pulmonary oxygen uptake off-kinetics and parameters related to anaerobic energy supply, lactate exchange, and removal abilities from blood lactate kinetics; and (iii) RS test (ten 35-m sprints, departing every 20 s) to determine best (RSbest) and mean (RSmean) sprint times and percentage of sprint decrement (%Dec). While SPR had a 98%-100% likelihood of having the fastest RSbest (Cohen's d of 1.8 and 1.4 for ACT and END, respectively) and RSmean (2.1 and 0.9 for ACT and END, respectively), END presented a 97%-100% likelihood of having the lowest %Dec (0.9 and 2.2 for ACT and SPR, respectively). RSmean was very largely correlated with RSbest (r=0.85) and moderately correlated with estimates of anaerobic energy supply (r=-0.40 to -0.49). RSmean adjusted for RSbest (which indirectly reflects RSA) was largely correlated with lactate exchange ability (r=0.55). Our results confirm the importance of locomotor- and anaerobic-related variables to RS performance, and highlight the importance of disposal of selected metabolic by-products to RSA.

Abstract
To verify the effects of training status and blood lactate concentration (BLC) responses on the early excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), 8 sprinters, 7 endurance runners, and 7 untrained subjects performed an incremental test to determine maximal oxygen uptake and a 1-min all-out test to determine BLC and oxygen uptake recovery curves. BLC kinetics was evaluated to assess the quantity of lactate accumulated during exercise (QlaA), lactate removal ability (k2), and quantity of lactate removed from 0 to 10 min postexercise (QlaR). Oxygen uptake off-kinetics was evaluated to assess the decay time constants (τ1 and τ2); moreover, EPOC was measured during the first 10 min after exercise. While sprinters had 98%-100% and 94%-100% likelihood of having the highest EPOC and decay time constants, endurance runners had 98%-100% and 95%-100% likelihood of having the lowest EPOC and decay time constants. EPOC was correlated with QlaA (r = 0.74) and QlaR (r = 0.61). τ1 and τ2 were correlated with maximal oxygen uptake (r > -0.57), k2 (r > -0.48), and QlaR relative to QlaA (r > -0.60). Our findings indicate that oxygen uptake recovery is associated with fast lactate removal and aerobic training. Furthermore, the metabolites derived from anaerobic energy production seem to induce a greater EPOC after all-out exercise.
