Show Notes

Lactic acid is an essential metabolite in our body, helping move energy from tissues that generate it, to the tissues that need it the most. We will talk about what lactic acid is supposed to do and how that gets dysregulated in mitochondrial disease. Objectives include naming causes of high lactate, evaluating lactate metabolically & listing downstream impacts of high lactate.
