Question 1

why does our fermentation make lactic acid instead of an alcoholic fermentation?

Accepted Answer

Ineffective oxidatio: Alcohol is the result of yeast action and actually take place with yeast infection of the bowel. Lactic acid formation is a product of inefficient oxidation that is the normal way that our cells synthesize their energy.

Question 2

is there any effects of ssri on lactic acid build up in the muscle during swimming practice?

Accepted Answer

No: Lactic acid is a byproduct of anaerobic exercise, that is, vigorous exercise that outpaces the body's ability to supply oxygen to the tissues.  It's not dangerous but can be painful; it helps to work the muscles to a gradual stop instead of stopping suddenly.  To the best of my knowledge, ssris have no effect on this process.

Question 3

please explain what happens to an untreated "lactic acid" ?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

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.

Question 5

why may i need a lactic acid dehydrogenase level?

Accepted Answer

Too many reasons: Ldh is a non-specific test. More information is needed to answer this question.

Question 6

what does high level of lactic acid in blood means?

Accepted Answer

Sepsis: High lactate levels can be from multiple causes. The most common is low blood pressure limiting blood supply to vital organs and tissues. This  can be seen in sepsis. 
Most patients with high lactic acid levels are critically ill and require ICU level of care.

Question 7

what does low levels of lactic acid in blood means?

Accepted Answer

No worries.: Lactic acid level is rarely checked, the doc that ordered it should be discussing your results with you, Lactic Acid is checked to evaluate oxygen use by your body's tissues/the cause of p.H. Changes in the blood. Low levels of Lactic Acid are generally a good thing.

Question 8

how can i remove the lactic acid from my muscle tissue?

Accepted Answer

It is already done: Your body removes it as fast as it can, and you cannot do anything to change it.

Question 9

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.

Question 10

can lactic acid bacillus cause hardstool problem in pregnency?

Accepted Answer

Maybe,,,: There's no apparent evidence it does this, but these bacteria are widely used in the food industry, like in dairy products to garden cheeses and to even help things like irritable bowel syndrome, so it might harden stool as well.
