Lactic Acidosis Explained with Diagrams & Flowcharts 🧪

This presentation provides an in-depth understanding of lactic acidosis, explaining its biochemical basis, causes, and physiological significance. It explores normal lactate metabolism, from muscle production to liver clearance, and details glycolysis processes, focusing on glucose to pyruvate conversion and NAD+ regeneration. The fate of pyruvate under aerobic and anaerobic conditions is discussed, alongside the role of lactate dehydrogenase in metabolic balance. Illustrated diagrams enhance...
