Lactate and colic–Shetland ponies as an example of one size does not fit all
Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.Summary The clinical commentary discusses the utility of peritoneal lactate alone, and in the context of other clinical factors, in determining the presence of a strangulating intestinal obstruction. A current study on Shetland ponies has revealed that peritoneal lactate well outside the range typically to be considered at risk of strangulating ...

Lactic Acidosis in Asthma: Report of Two Cases and Review of the Literature
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2002 Lactic acidosis is commonly associated with states of hypoxia and decreased tissue perfusion. Elevated lactic acid levels have also been observed in individuals who are not septic and who are normotensive, but who have received systemic adrenergic ...

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a known risk factor for hypercalcemia in cats. Phosphate‐restricted diets have also been implicated in causing hypercalcemia, in part because phosphate restriction increases the Ca:P ratio. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of two different therapeutic renal foods on ionized (iCa ...

Metformin-related acidosis in a woman while performing Haj: A conservative approach
Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2015 Metformin is a first-line oral anti-hyperglycemic agent. It decreases insulin resistance, decreases hepatic glucose output and enhances peripheral glucose uptake. Metformin is used as a monotherapy in combination with other oral hypoglycemic agents.

Mitochondrial oxidative stress, calcium and dynamics in cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Heart attack causes ischaemia–reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. High levels of mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and excess ROS levels can lower the Ca2+ required to activate the mPTP ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend There has been controversy about the structural (capillary) response of skeletal muscle to altered O2 status, involving decreased supply (hypoxia) or increased demand (activity). Here we demonstrate that seven days of activation of skeletal muscle by indirect electrical stimulation led to significant expansion of the capillary ...
