Lactic Acidosis
Lactate/Pyruvate Ratio Increased
ratio of D:L isomers as acidosis progresses. … In this situation, glycolysis is increased to provide additional ATP, and the excess pyruvate produced is converted into lactate and released from the cell into the bloodstream … Lactate production is buffered intracellularly, e.g. the lactate-producing enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, binds one hydrogen cation per pyruvate molecule converted.[3]
