D-Lactate, typically present in the bloodstream at nanomolar concentrations, is produced by an intestinal source or via the methylglyoxal pathway. In mammals, D-Lactate metabolism requires D-Lactate hydrogenase and is metabolized slowly, thus an increase in blood concentration levels can lead to acidemia and acidosis. The severity of this D-lactic acidosis can be associated with neurotoxic symptoms. Significant D-Lactate accumulations in the body can also be related to impaired metabolism and excretion.
Application
D-Lactate Colorimetric Assay kit has been used to determine the stereospecificity of lactate produced.[1]
Suitability
Suitable for use with samples of serum, plasma, cells, culture and fermentation media.
Principle
In this assay, D-Lactate is specifically oxidized by D-Lactate hydrogenase and generates a proportional colorimetric product measured at 450 nm. The useful concentration range in samples is 0.1-10 mM D-Lactate.
Purpose: Microbiological investigations of vitreous fluid have often failed to detect the causative agent in infectious endophthalmitis resulting in a clinical dilemma. D-Lactate is a byproduct of bacterial metabolism, and its accumulation in sterile body fluids indicates bacterial infection. The

To determine the time relationships of soluble receptor for glycation end-products (sRAGE), [a decoy of the advanced glycation end-products (AGE)-RAGE axis] and D-lactate, (a metabolite of methylglyoxal) in the inflammatory response to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Sixteen children and adolescents with

To investigate the link between dietary sugar consumption and two separate pathogenetic mechanisms associated with metabolic syndrome: de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and nonenzymatic glycation. We assessed changes in serum d-lactate (the detoxification end-product of methylglyoxal) concentration in response to 9

A relationship between increasing water temperature and amoebic gill disease (AGD) prevalence in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has been noted at fish farms in numerous countries. In Scotland (UK), temperatures above 12°C are considered to be an important risk factor
