Levels of lactic acid in normal Indians & its relation to food, glucose, cholesterol, raised blood urea.

ABSTRACT

1. The level of lactic acid was found to be between 5mg 25mg percent in 95 percent in 186 normal Indias. There was no difference due to sex and age. 2. Level of lactic acid was estimated in blood of normal persons and diabetes type II patients to observe the effects of food and glucose. The effect of food and and glucose was to take the levels of lactic acid to higher level than normal in about 25 percent of persons examined. 3. Hyperglycemia of over 300 mg raised the blood lactic acid in 25 percent of patients. 4. Lactic acid was not affected by hypercholereteremia but was raised in 60 percent of cases with high blood urea.
