Measuring Whole-Blood Lactate Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-blood lactate [La] concentration was measured immediately before, immediately post, and 5 min post exercise for all four trials utilizing a portable lactate analyzer (Lactate Plus, Nova Biomedical Corporation, Waltham, MA, United States) and lactate test strips (Lactate Plus, Nova Biomedical Corporation, Waltham, MA, United States). Blood samples of about 5 μl were collected through finger pricks performed in the index or middle fingers. Before the blood was collected, the finger was swiped with alcohol, and the first drop was discarded. The lactate analyzer was calibrated every day before data collection using low and high lactate standards (Lactate Plus, Nova Biomedical Corporation, Waltham, MA, United States), following the manufacture’s recommendations. [La] levels were posteriorly corrected for plasma volume shifts using the following equation:
here [La]c stands for corrected lactate concentration, [La]un stands for uncorrected lactate concentration, and %PVΔ stands for percent changes in plasma volume.

Whole-blood lactate was measured using a portable lactate analyzer (Lactate Plus, Nova Biomedical Corporation, Waltham, MA, United States) at baseline, immediately post-, 5 min post-, and 15 min post-exercise. Blood samples of approximately 5 μl were collected through finger pricks performed in the index or middle fingers. Before collecting the blood, the finger was wiped with alcohol and the first droplet was discarded. The lactate analyzer was calibrated every day before data collection using low and high lactate standards (Lactate Plus, Nova Biomedical Corporation, Waltham, MA, United States), following the manufacture’s recommendations. The day-to-day reliability for baseline WBL levels was ICC = 0.494. WBL values were corrected for changes in plasma volume and used for statistical analysis.

Incremental 200m Swimming Test

The first stage of the test started at the speed associated with 200 m TT minus 0.35 m.s - 1 , and was increased in the subsequent stages by 0.05 m.s -1 until exhaustion occurred (9) . Inbetween 200 m steps, a 30 s rest interval was allowed for blood sampling ([La -] from an earlobe). Pace was controlled with a Finis Tempo Trainer (Finis Inc., California, USA) that was preprogramed to the pace required to swim each 50 m in order to ensure that the swimmers swam their expected 200 m time evenly. Time to complete each 200 m stage (Finis Inc., 3 x 100 m, California, USA), [La -] (Lactate Plus, Nova Biomedical, Waltham, USA), rating of perceived exertion (RPE, 1-10 Borg scale) and HR (A300, Polar, USA) were collected at the end of each 200 m stage.

NIRS Assessment of HIIE Muscle Oxygenation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) device (Moxy, Moxy Monitor System, MN) was used to measure muscle tissue oxygenation every second during each HIIE session. The highest muscle tissue oxygenation value from each active rest period (MTO active rest %) was averaged for each HIIE session. Additionally, the lowest muscle tissue oxygenation (MTO during HIIE%) value per high intensity bout was recorded and averaged from each HIIE session. The difference of the average MTO active rest % and MTO during HIIE% was used to calculate the muscle tissue oxygenation difference (MTO difference %). All MTO measurements were taken on the dominant leg at a marked location on the vastus lateralis that would allow movement without interference from the NIRS device. A pulse oximeter (Caretaker, Caretaker Medical, Charlottesville, VA) was used to measure SpO 2 during HIIE. Blood lactate measurements (Lactate Plus, NOVA Biomedical, MA) were taken in duplicate at the ear lobe immediately before, and 5-minutes post HIIE.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Lactate Analysis in Canine Epilepsy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected from dogs that were referred to the NC State Veterinary Hospital for epileptic seizures as part of a routine diagnostic evaluation. The samples were obtained from the cerebellomedullary cistern or lumbar subarachnoid space in a routine manner. Most samples were analyzed immediately using a commercially available lactate monitor (Lactate Plus, Nova Biomedical, Waltham, Massachusetts) although some were evaluated after being frozen at −80°C, which has little effect on lactate concentration.4

Muscle Damage and Inflammation Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood lactate concentrations were collected using a portable lactate meter (Lactate Plus, Nova Biomedical Corporation, Waltham, MA). Samples were obtained from a finger at baseline and after finishing the leg curl, seated row, and pull down. Samples were obtained in duplicate. A second blood sample was collected from an antecubital forearm vein at baseline, immediately following the recovery period and at 24 hours post-exercise. Creatine Kinase (CK) concentrations were measured to estimate muscle damage using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Inflammatory cytokine levels were measured using a Milliplex MAP kit of Human Cytokines/ Chemokine (Millipore Corp; Billerica, MA) for the simultaneous quantification of several cytokines including IL-1α, IL-6 and TNFα. These cytokines were chosen for their potential roles in modulating skeletal muscle mass [14 (link)] and post- exercise inflammation. [15 (link)] Samples were run in duplicate; if one sample was markedly different than the other, a third sample was analyzed.

Lactate-Pyruvate Tolerance and Gluconeogenesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lactate/Pyruvate tolerance tests were performed as previously described (29) . Briefly, mice were fasted for 16 hours overnight and given an IP injection of a 1.5mg/g of a 10:1 sodium lactate: sodium pyruvate solution. 40% of the sodium lactate and sodium pyruvate were [U- 13 C] sodium lactate and [U- 13 C] sodium pyruvate. Blood glucose was measured 0, 10, 20, and 30 minutes post injection using a blood glucometer (Contour Next) and lactate was measured using a lactate meter (Nova Biomedical Lactate Plus). Fractional gluconeogenesis (GNG) was determined as previously described (67), using the following formula:
where Mx represents the fractional enrichment of the m+x species for the indicated metabolite.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
