Lactate:pyruvate ratio

Similarly, monitoring the amount of mtDNA, usually via the mtDNA nuDNA ratio [72], provides a more sensitive index of diminishing mitochondrial biomass and much of this work focuses on peripheral blood samples because they are readily available. In fibroblasts treated with ddC for 4 weeks, mtDNA dropped by 80% within the first week and the lactate/pymvate ratio lagged behind, but was pathologically elevated after 3 weeks. A 4-week wash-out treatment then showed that mtDNA returned to 90% of the initial value within 3 weeks and lactate/pyruvate ratio gradually normalized over 4 weeks. It bears reiteration in this context that... [Pg.360]

Metabolically, acetyl CoA that is generated is diverted to ketogenesis, and urea cycle activity is decreased, leading to hyperammonaemia associated with fasting hypoglycaemia, increased lactataemia associated with an increased lactate pyruvate ratio, and increased ketonaemia with ratio < 1. Data from a patient affected with a PC defect are presented in Table 1.4.12. [Pg.49]

Data from a patient affected with a PDH defect are presented in Table 1.4.13. In general, hyperlactataemia (increasing with meals) associated with a normal lactate pyruvate ratio and normal ketonaemia is observed. The ketogenic diet is a rational treatment for PDH complex deficiency. [Pg.49]

From these data Krebs and Veech concluded that the oxidation state of the NAD system is determined largely by the phosphorylation state ratio of the adenylate system.169 If the ATP level is high the equilibrium in Eq. 17-42a will be reached at a higher [NAD+]/[NADH] ratio and lactate may be oxidized to pyruvate to adjust the [lactate]/[pyruvate] ratio. [Pg.980]

Calculated from the lactate/pyruvate ratio, assuming NAD and NADH at equilibrium, and using an equilibrium constant of 1.11 X 10-4. [From R. L. Veech, L. V. Eggleston, and H. A. Krebs, Biochem. 7.115, 609(1969).]... [Pg.521]

If the history, physical findings, and laboratory results are suggestive but not conclusive of a particular mitochondrial disease (e.g., MELAS), then a second tier of tests is performed. These include blood and CSF lactate and pyruvate, as well as the lactate/pyruvate ratio timed or random measurement of amino acids in blood, urine, and CSF organic acids in urine and CSF and ketones and free and total carnitine in blood and urine. [Pg.91]

With a constant of K = 2.7640-5 mol/1 (pH 7.0, 25°C) the equilibrium of the LDH-catalyzed reaction lies far to the lactate side. This means that whereas for lactate sensors based on LDH the forward reaction has to be forced by alkaline buffer and pyruvate- or NADH-trapping agents, the reduction of pyruvate proceeds spontaneously under normal conditions. This direction of the reaction has been used in a sequence electrode for pyruvate assay (Weigelt et al., 1987b). In the presence of lactate monooxygenase (LMO) lactate formed from pyruvate by LDH is oxidized by molecular oxygen, the consumption of which was indicated at a Clark-type electrode. The enzymes were immobilized in a gelatin membrane. Of course such a sensor measures the concentration of lactate in the sample, too. Therefore it is suited to the determination of the lactate/pyruvate ratio, which is a clinically important parameter. Pro-... [Pg.199]

When—under comparable conditions—the arterial oxygen tension was lowered to such an extent that values of oxygen tension below 30 mm Hg occurred in the cerebral venous blood, a decrease in arterial blood flow and in oxygen uptake was registered, whereas the glucose uptake of the cerebral tissue and the lactate-pyruvate ratio of cerebral venous blood continued to increase. In these experiments the return to initial... [Pg.47]

Under the conditions of cerebral edema and nonrespiratory acidosis, the cerebral blood flow rate did not increase as soon as the oxygen tension in cerebral venous blood decreased below the reaction threshold. During edema, a decrease of oxygen tension below the threshold value led to a slight decrease in cerebral blood flow and cerebral oxygen uptake however, glucose uptake of the cerebral tissue and the lactate-pyruvate ratio of the cerebral venous blood increased. When arterial oxygen tensions were returned to normal, the cerebral blood flow and the cerebral... [Pg.48]

V y of pyruvate, fatty acids, and other fuels. In many cases, the inhibition of mitochondrial electron transport results in higher than normal levels of lactate and pyruvate in the blood and an increased lactate/pyruvate ratio. NADH oxidation requires the completed transfer of electrons from NADH to O2, and a defect anywhere along the chain will result in the accumulation of NADH and decrease of NAD+. The increase in NADH/NAD inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase and causes the accumulation of pyruvate. It also increases the conversion of pyruvate to lactate, and elevated levels of lactate appear in the blood. A large number of genetic defects of the proteins in respiratory chain complexes have, therefore, been classified together as "congenital lactic acidosis."... [Pg.390]

Lactate and pyruvate are in equilibrium in the cell, and the ratio of lactate to pyruvate reflects the NADH/NAD + ratio. Both acids are released into blood, and the normal ratio of lactate to pyruvate in blood is approximately 25 1. This ratio can provide a useful clinical diagnostic tool. Because lactic acidemia can be the result of a number of problems, such as hypoxia, MERFF, thiamine deficiency, and pyruvate dehdyrogenase deficiency, under which of these conditions would you expect the lactate/pyruvate ratio in blood to be much greater than normal ... [Pg.413]

The measurement of the lactate/pyruvate ratio in plasma is possible by using a lactate dehydrogenase-lactate monooxygenase sequence electrode [373]. The sensor is equally sensitive to lactate and pyruvate (Figure 14-34), because of the high enzyme loading and the... [Pg.92]

HEAR oil and peanut oil. They concluded that dietary fat did not alter mitochondrial function. Lactate/pyruvate ratio, however, does not necessarily reflect the state of oxidation/reduction of cytoplasmic NADH (Olson, 1963). [Pg.549]

During the metabolism of the polyalcohols, the cytoplasmic NAD is largely reduced, as is demonstrated by elevation of the lactate/pyruvate ratio (Fig. 4). Addition of fructose caused only minor changes in this ratio and glucose was without any effect. Despite these changes in cytoplasmic redox potential, there was extensive glucose production from the sugars (see Fig. 3). [Pg.74]

In contrast to other authors, we have been unable to find severe adverse reactions by these substances. The rise in lactate concentration and the increase in the lactate/pyruvate ratio are common metabolic consequences of carbohydrate metabolism. The increase in uric acid and serum bilirubin concentrations has been reported as adverse reactions. However, the increase in uric acid concentration was also observed after oral sucrose intake. Rapid intravenous infusions of fructose, sorbitol and xylitol at high dosages of 1.5 g per kg were followed by an increase in the serum bilirubin concentration. Glucose, however, caused the same... [Pg.85]
