Lactic acid not athlete's poison, but an energy source - if you know how to use it
In the lore of marathoners and extreme athletes, lactic acid is poison, a waste product that builds up in the muscles and leads to muscle fatigue, reduced performance and pain. Coaches and athletes don't realize it, says exercise physiologist George...Genomic comparison of lactic acid bacteria published
With public concerns at a fevered pitch over the bacterial contamination of spinach, it is easy to lose track of how bland and deprived our world would be without the contribution to our food supply of such benign microbial players as lactic acid-producing bacteria. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) and the University of California, Davis, and their...Galactic survey reveals a new look for the Milky Way
The survey using the orbiting infrared telescope provides the fine details of a long central bar feature that distinguishe...Journey Leads Astronomer to New Galactic Structure
MADISON - For Ron Reynolds, an early peek at what would turn out to be a major new feature of the Milky Way came through a hole in the ceiling. As a physics post-doc at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the late 1970s, Reynolds sawed a hole in the ceiling of an office of the university's Physical Science Laboratory. Pointing a specially built spectrometer through the roof of the bu...Emergency Treatment Found Wanting In Anaphylactic Reactions
New findings presented during the Annual Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) in Anaheim stress on the fact that healthcare providers are not well-equipped to deal with anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that is fatal if not treated immediately//. The researchers say that insect bites are almost always responsible for anaphylaxis and that heal...Genetically modified Lactic acid bacteria offers HIV protection
Professor Bharat Ramratnam, Assistant Professor, Brown Medical School is exploring the beneficial properties of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which is a good probiotic bacteria which is used for fermentation of curd and yogurt, used as a probiotic drug in treating throat infections and// also as applications in saving fish culture system from pathogenic bacteria. Cynovirin protein is foun...Lactic acid a potent energy giver if used properly!
Lactic acid could provide ample energy if used properly is what a study says. In a paper in press for the American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism, published //online in January, Brooks and colleagues Takeshi Hashimoto and Rajaa Hussien in UC Berkeley's Exercise Physiology Laboratory add one of the last puzzle pieces to the lactate story and also link for the first t...Sculptra® Injectable Poly-L-Lactic Acid
Description:SCULPTRA™ is an injectable implant that contains microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic polymer from the alpha-hydroxy-acid family. SCULPTRA is reconstituted prior to use by the addition of Sterile Water for Injection, USP (SWFI) to form a sterile non-pyrogenic suspension....
