Significado biológico y utilidad clínica del lactato en la sepsis

Arch. argent. pediatr; 122 (2), 2024
La sepsis es un problema global de salud y la progresión hacia el shock séptico se asocia con un incremento marcado de la morbimortalidad. En este escenario, el aumento del lactato plasmático demostró ser un indicador de gravedad y un predictor de mortalidad, y suele interpretarse casi exclusivamente...

Production, characterization and kinetic model of biosurfactant produced by lactic acid bacteria

BACKGROUND Biosurfactants are surface active molecules produced by microorganisms which have the ability to disrupt the plasma membrane. Biosurfactant properties are important in the food, pharmaceu tical and oil industries. Lactic acid bacteria can produce cell-bound and excreted biosurfactants. RESULTS...

Short-chain fatty acids production by Bifidobacterium species in the presence of salep

BACKGROUND: Salep is obtained by grinding dried orchid tubers and used as a valuable ingredient in the food industry. Because of the glucomannan content of salep, it is thought to have prebiotic potential. However, there is little information in studies concerning the fermentation characteristics and pot...

Sobrecarga de fluidos em pacientes com choque séptico e depuração de lactato como alvo terapêutico: um estudo de coorte retrospectiva

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar se a sobrecarga de fluidos na terapia hídrica é fator prognóstico para pacientes com choque séptico quando ajustada para os alvos de depuração de lactato. Métodos: Este estudo envolveu uma coorte retrospectiva e foi conduzido em um hospital de cuidados nível IV localiza...

Comparison of Lactic Acid Production by L. casei in Batch, Fed-batch and Continuous Cultivation, Testing the use of Feather Hydrolysate as a Complex Nitrogen Source

Abstract A comprehensive comparison of the main fermentation parameters, productivity, yield and final L-lactic acid concentration, obtained through batch, fed-batch and continuous cultivations using Lactobacillus casei CCDM 198 and a model cultivation medium was carried out. Using this data, a pulse-fee...

Effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Myracrodruon urundeuva All. and Qualea grandiflora Mart. leaves on the viability and activity of microcosm biofilm and on enamel demineralization

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Myracrodruon urundeuva All. and Qualea grandiflora Mart. leaves hydroalcoholic extracts on viability and metabolism of a microcosm biofilm and on enamel demineralization prevention. Methodology: Microcosm biofilm was produced on bov...

Effects of hypertonic saline vs normal saline on lactate clearance after cardiovascular surgery

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 88 (2), 2018
Abstract Background: The postoperative care of patients subjected to cardiac surgery frequently require a complete recovery with intravenous fluids, but crystalloid solutions like normal saline may increase the interstitial oedema, and it is also well known that fluid overload increases mortality. Obj...

Bioconversion of waste cooking oil glycerol from cabbage extract to lactic acid by Rhizopus microsporus

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract Glycerol from spent oil was processed by transesterification for biodiesel production. Although glycerol contains many types of impurities, it can be used as a C-source for lactic acid production by fungi, such as Rhizopus microsporus. In this study, we found that wild type R. microsporus (LTH23...

Lactate-upregulation of lactate oxidation complex-related genes is blunted in left ventricle of myocardial infarcted rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (11), 2018
Lactate modulates the expression of lactate oxidation complex (LOC)-related genes and cardiac blood flow under physiological conditions, but its modulatory role remains to be elucidated regarding pathological cardiac stress. The present study evaluated the effect of lactate on LOC-related genes expressio...

Evaluation of anaerobic threshold in non-pregnant and pregnant rats

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Several studies present different methodologies and results about intensity exercise, and many of them are performed in male rats. However, the impact of different type, intensity, frequency and duration of exercise on female rats needs more investigation. From the analysis of blood lactate conc...
