Question 5

i have a question regarding lactic acid buildup in muscles?

Accepted Answer

It goes away: They say "pain is just weakness leaving the body". But it's really lactic acidosis building up in the muscles. This occurs as part of the normal metabolism of glucose by your muscle in the absence of oxygen (called anaerobic metabolism). The Lactic Acid clears from the muscles (and your body) with rest, plenty of fluids and appropriate nutrition.

Lactic Acid: Lactic acidosis is usually self limited if caused by exercise and requires rest and fluids.

Question 9

what is the function of  lactic acid in the body? if depleted what happens?

Accepted Answer

Probably Nothing: Lactic acid is the byproduct of your cells when they metabolize sugars without oxygen.  This is what happens when you go for a long run... Lactic acid accumulates in your tired muscles and causes a burning sensation.  If depleted, probably not much happens...  Lactic acid can accumulate for lots of other reasons too, but generally related to a lack of oxygen.
